Went over to see Bn. this a.m., stayed to lunch. They have had a bad time. Fergie, of course, has been splendid. Hugh O’Neill has gone as Court Martial Officer to 1^st Army, which is commanded by the Gunner we thought (Horne). Have got a car for the move tomorrow; Holt has been away at Army School for a week. He lunches with us at Club – B_____ [Bailleul] tomorrow. The Xmas dinner came to £73. Fergie written quite a good account to local press. He has had a hard time. The Bn. moves over to near B_____ [Bailleul] this day week. Billets in B_____ [Bailleul] will be a change of life, but I am sorry to leave this, which is most comfortable.
