| 7 | Bn. Route March 18 miles. Route:- VATIMESNIL (5393) - MOUFLAINES (5090) - TOURNY (4983) - LES THILLIERS-EN-VIXEN (5489) - GAMACES-EN-VIXEN (5592) - VATIMESNIL (5393). The first 4 hours of the march were in very bad weather conditions - strong wind and rain. A short halt was made at 1215 hrs and a haversack ration and tea was brought out by the cooks. The weather improved considerably after 1300 hrs and the Bn. arrived back at 1530 hrs. The march was well carried out by all Companies, which was very creditable in view of the bad weather conditions , and the fact that no long marches had been carried out since the campaign started. |
