| 13 | The Battalion made another move forward of about 40 miles this involved crossing the river Ure at LOUVIERS and the Seine at LES ANDLEYS. Owing to the shortage of transport in the Brigade all trucks from the other Bns and services in the Brigade were pooled for the moving of each Bn in turn. HQ Sqn and Bn HQ were harboured in and about the farm building of a large farm just of the main ROUEN – PARIS rd between ECOUIS and GRAINVILLE. The other Sqns were about 1½ miles away in village of VILLEREST. Good use was made of any empty cottages, farms or barns and No 3 were lucky enough to have their Officers' Mess in a farm house where electric light was installed and working. |
