Diary

Aug 6 - Called in off work about 2 p.m. Ordered to strike camp. Everything was loaded on to the narrow guage (sic) including the men and we left the Cambrai point for the Bullecourt point at 8 in the evening. It took us all night to reach our destination near Mory, a small Village, about five miles north of Bapaume, on account of the many long waits on the line. No 4 Platoon of the Coy got off at Lagnicourt and went into camp there.
