night going out on patrols in to no man s land and try and dominate. the chinese, when they invaded, there was a long tunnel on the hook with gun placements and the chinese were throwing themselves with explosives, threw themselves into the tunnel, blew themselves up. like a suicide type attack? suicide. after months in the line, mike learned that the war was about to end. the ceasefire has been signed we cease firing at 10:00 tonight. well, more or less along the whole front, we stopped firing. we stopped shelling them, they stopped shelling us and mortar sounds went off. but they were mortar sounds, not of mortars coming at us, kind of flares going up. so we had the sky lit up by chinese and now coloured flares. celebrating it? it was a fireworks night, literally.
