[9 Rue de Poissons, Bailleul, Brigade Headquarters]

Got a car and went round 16^th [Royal Irish Rifles] and 13^th [Royal Irish Rifles], Div. H.Q. and Shill. Found latter much better, hope he will be back with Bn. by end of week. Am writing from our new H.Q. at B_____ [Bailleul]. Lunched at officers’ club, quite good. My room here above office, quite nice. Think we shall be quite comfortable. The area occupied by the two Bns. here is quite good. Comfortable billets and nice air. 9^th [Royal Irish Fusiliers] comes here on 13^th (Saturday.)
