	26		Inter-Company Soccer matches were to be played during the morning but had to be cancelled owing to the hard state of the ground. Again, there was a severe frost overnight continuing to freeze during the day and several members of the Bn seized the opportunity to skate. The Divisional Commander visited Bn HQ at 1130 hrs, staying until 1300 hrs. He called at the Serjeants' Mess, which was prepared for the Serjeants’ Christmas dinner, and was most impressed by the decorations. A dance, held in the church hall during the evening, was very well attended by many civilians and members of the Bn. Representatives from 1 Norfolks visited Bn HQ during the morning and inspected billets prior to taking over the Bn area. A party left Bn HQ at 0900 hrs for 48 hours at BRUSSELS.
