Battalion leaves Concentration Area and proceeds to BRETTEVILLE L’ORGUEILLEUSE.
This sector had been previously held by the Canadian and Battalion H.Q. established itself in the orchard outside a chateau with a Mess in the Chateau itself.
Good slit trenches with covered-over tops so essential against German mortar fire, were already dug and the Battalion soon got into position.
