Tuesday 2nd March 1915

Geraldine Tunstill, wife of Gilbert, again followed the move of the Battalion, as she had done on their departure in the Autumn of 1914. The precise date of her arrival in Folkestone has not been established but she was certainly staying at the Metropole Hotel by early April when a further advertisement for the letting of the family home in Otterburn appeared in the Yorkshire Post. All enquiries were to be directed to Geraldine at the Metropole.
