The story
After a peaceful night, a harbour party under Lieutenant R.P. HEDLEY DENT went forward at 0500 hours to look at the Battalion’s new Concentration Area, and at 0700 hours the Battalion moved forward again, this time to an area South of CAUMONT, still being in 8 CORPS reserve.
A couple of hours were spent in that area and then the Battalion moved forward once more, accompanied by now by the usual quota of shelling of the road, during which Lieutenant GLUCK, who had only been with us 24 hours, was wounded.
