| Entry | During the morning thorough inspections were carried out and an attempt was made to organize into 2 companies (A with B and C with D), and to ascertain our actual casualties, but before this was completed we were ordered to provide 2 companies, each 130 strong, as part of a composite Battn of the 99th Infantry Brigade. They were hurriedly made up, one, (C)under command of Lieut ASTLEY and the other (D) under Lieut CROSBIE and the two companies moved off after dinner through ENGELBELMER to a position under AVELUY WOOD, N of MARTINSART, which was held all this night and next day. Lt Col WINTER D.S.O (23/RF) was in command. At 4 pm the remainder of the Battn moved back to LEALVILLERS where 1st line Transport was established. Today the long spell of fine weather, which has been so favourable to the enemy plans, broke up and heavy rain fell during the afternoon and night. |
