Holding this place and will go into line one mile away in evening. Hard march yesterday on greasy road. All well. G returned. Lovely day. Left our billets at 6.00 a.m. in the dark and got here at 9.00 a.m. Transport two miles from last night’s billet entailed much complication. Some vehicles to come with us, like cookers, water carts, and some wagons, remainder having to go to our transport billet. Difficult work sorting and packing. However, we got off to time. Expect relief will be a long and tedious job.
