Place Date Hour Summary Reference
15   The Regt disembarked at ARRAMANCHES at about 1300hrs and later in the evening moved to an orchard just North of BAYEUX close to No. 2 A.R.G. After some 3 weeks of very dry weather there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain that evening which was a particularly unpleasant welcome for the Regt in France as we had no cover whatsoever against the weather.
