Farewell order by Gen Davies published and promulgated. See Below. Casualties. Nil Special Orders by Brig General R H Davies CB Cmdg 6th Inf Bde 23rd September 1914 On relinquishing the Command of the 6th Infty Bde to take up another appointment, I wish to convey to the officers and men my heartfelt thanks for all the assistance they have given me in both peace and war. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of all ranks during the strenuous days and nights which have passed since the commencement of hostilities. Their behaviour and bearing have been the admiration of all those who have been in a position to notice them. I can safely say that I am handing over the command of Officers and Men who will never disappoint any successor in whatever arduous task he may have to give them. I feel that my relations with the Brigade have been as much those of a dear friend as of a Commander. I wish all ranks the best of luck and a speedy [rest of line unreadable] to be separated from them before the end is reached. Signed R.H.Davies CB |
