Part 25

Norfolks--Done and Bruce (both ill in hospital from strenuous overwork), Megaw (killed later), Paterson. Dorsets--Ransome, Partridge. Bedfords--Griffith (trustiest of C.O.'s, who had been under heavier fire than almost any one in the Brigade, yet never touched), Allason (thrice wounded), Gledstanes (killed later). Cheshires--Frost (killed later).

I do not think there was another officer except the quartermasters--Smith (Norfolks), Sproule (Cheshires), and Pearce (Bedfords); and as for the men, there may have been ten or so per battalion, but I really do not think there were more.

I took the evening train at Bailleul and spent an agreeable evening with Ker Seymer, the train officer. I got to Boulogne and on board the boat at midnight, and next day, the 3rd March, saw me arrive at 8.30 A.M. in London.
