Regiment 2nd Wiltshire
Location France, Desnancourt
Entry Companies paraded under their own arrangements. These parades were very much interfered with by shelling of the village by the Germans with a big gun (10"?)Some casualties were inflicted but none of this Battalion were touched, as we moved out of the village on both occasions when shelled. 96 other ranks joined from ROUEN.
