| 23 | Bde H.Q., H.Q. Sqn and the Sig Sqn moved about 2 miles S.W. to a farm at 818791. Although not quite so convenient from the point of view of being near a main rd, the ground was much drier than the previous location, which had become a quagmire after 36 hrs practically incessant rain. The offrs mess was inside a large cowshed (cleaned out and quite hygienic) but otherwise everybody was under canvas. The farm itself was occupied by its owners and some refugee children from CAEN. |
