Diary Entry - 25th August, 1916

Friday, we felt quite clean after a nice warm bath and we breakfasted at ten a.m. By the time we had found the bank and had a haircut, it was time to think of wending our way to lunch and meeting Suttie and Bailey. At twelve thirty they rolled up, as did most of the officers of the 3rd Brigade. We sat down eight to lunch, the party including Major Powell and Walrond. In the afternoon, the town was packed with all ranks of the 2nd division, in spite of the fact that the Brigade was marching about eight miles to Rainneville. After having tea with Murdoch in a nice little teashop, Siggers and I rode back to Rainneville, getting there at six thirty p.m., so that Hoyland and Cruickshank could spend the night in Amiens.
