| 25 | A very successful Christmas was had by all Batteries less 251 Battery who are in the line under command 4 Armd Bde, They are, however, being relieved on 27 December when they will return to barracks and celebrate their Christmas. During the course of Christmas morning we received a message saying the Corps Commander wished to carry out an inspection tomorrow. This caused considerable consternation, as unless we worked everybody the whole of Christmas day we couldn't hope to have the place ready for inspection. The matter was taken up with the CCRA who said the men were on no account to be made to spend Christmas Day cleaning up. He would take full responsibility for the inspection. |
