Comdg 1st Brigade, 1st Division, IV Corps 1st Army to which formation the Battalion was appointed on taking over from the Scots Guards. General Reddie welcomed the Battalion to the Brigade and said that from what he had seen of the turn out on parade he thought the Battalion would worthily uphold the fine traditions of the Brigade and of the 1st Army, which in the past fighting had won the respect of both French allies and German enemies. He congratulated the C.O. on having such a fine battalion. He afterwards inspected the Transport, and said that all were willing to assist us in every possible way. Certainly so far we have received every possible help on our way. |
