‘One of the greatest difficulties here is the shortage of water…I had the first shave for a week and my face was coated with dust and grime I had got through all the recent fighting and trench digging. After I had finished the water in my mess tin it was muddy and I washed my face in that and then had my tea out of the same tin.”
