Regiment 1st Royal Berkshire
Location France, LE TOURET
Entry Battn marched at 5pm to FESTUBERT to take over line held by Staffords on left and South Wales Borderers (3rd Bde) on right. C & D in firing line, A & B in reserve in billets round FESTUBERT. The trenches were in a bad state owing to continued wet weather and flatness of country much intersected by dykes. A fairly quiet relief. Captain Lucas returned to England to take over the duties of Bde Major 88th Bde.
