Regiment 2nd Wiltshire
Location France, La Gorgue
Entry Brigade marched off at 12 noon from ESTAIRES. Battn paraded at 11 am and joined Brigade E of ESTAIRES. The Brigade then proceeded to STRAZEELE about 9 miles NW of ESTAIRES where Battns were billeted but held in readiness to move at 2 hours notice. A number of troops fell out on this march owing to hot weather, and the long period of trench life had shown its effects.
