Place Date Hour Summary Reference
15   A minimum recce party left for a forward RV in BELGIUM. We are at last to move near to the front line – the day we had waited for had come at last. Days of training and recreational trips were over, but we had succeeded in keeping ourselves fit, physically and mentally, and we had certainly enjoyed ourselves.
