Should have gone on leave yesterday, but have put it off for a few days in order to fix up the move. Spent the morning going round the village and collecting various gear and salvage which always accumulates during a lengthy stay in billets. Completed loading some of the waggons and had them taken back to the lines and made all arrangements for moving off on Tuesday at 1 p.m.
We are entraining at Pont Remy, about a 12 miles march, and detraining at Busigny, train due to pull out about 9 p.m. One lorry has been provided to take our surplus gear to train. Everything going smoothly, the Colonel showing me all orders and conferring with me concerning every phase of the move. Had a little rain, but it promises to be fine. Bad headache last two days.
