Diary Entry - 19th July, 1916

Usual routine of stables in the morning. In afternoon, Buxton informed me that I was to collect all details from the Brigades concerning the convoy, as I was to be OC divisional convoy, which was to march by road. Well, there was a lot of ferreting to be done, and I was very worried by the time I saw Buxton at nine p.m. in the evening, as I knew what to expect at his hands, having done a dirty job for him at Marles-les-Mines. However, I had a list of wagons, which amounted to 36, consisting of 84 men and 93 horses – they were to line up at Gauchin Legal church at eleven thirty a.m. on Thursday.
