| Entry | Battn marched at 3.45am and after a long night march through mud and water reached FINS. Div and Bde HQ had not arrived so again Battn had to shift for itself and got accommodation in some tents and huts and broken down houses. Cookers had been left going and hot tea was served. The cold was intense, so much so that even though tired out, men could not sleep. Battn was ordered to equip in fighting order. Transport was organised into fighting and rear positions, ammunition made up, and arrangements made to dump packs. Orders to move at short notice were issued, and blankets and kits collected. These orders were cancelled as Battn was not to move until 10am on 2nd. Blankets and kits re-issued and all ranks turned in to rest. At 11.40 Battn was ordered to be ready to move at once. |
