30-31 August 1944 WO 171/413 - 3 Infantry Division AQ
Star ENSA Concert 1500 and 1900 hrs at FLERS starring Flanaghan and Allan, Kay Cavendish and Florence Desmond.

2 September 1944 WO 171/617 - 9 Infantry Brigade
The remainder of the day was spent in preparation for the early move tomorrow morning. A feature of our stay in the FLERS area has been the sterling quality of entertainment provided for the men. Stars of the film and variety world such as Flanagen & Allen, Kay Cavendish, Florence Desmond all having contributed. The weather has been foul to the extreme for the past day or two. In such circumstances the need for an issue, to all ranks, of bivouacs small seems a necessity, the innovation of which would solve many billeting problems in these sparsely housed agricultural areas.
