Large working parties, of some 65 men, were despatched, both
morning and afternoon, to work on the Bois Grenier Line.
In a later letter home Pte. William Knox (see 18th December) would tell his wife, Ethel, “We had a very nice concert Monday night. Our officers got it up. They are ever so good to us. They come into our huts and spend the night with us and we have a sing-song as well.”
Pte. Benjamin Wilson (see 1st December), who had had his left leg amputated having been wounded in November, was evacuated to England from 2nd General Hospital at Le Havre, travelling onboard the Hospital Ship St. Denis. On arrival in England he would be admitted to Eaton Hall VAD Hospital, Eaton, Cheshire.
A payment of £4 1s. 1d., being the amount owed on his army pay, was issued to the widow of Pte. Raymond Tilbrook (see 25th September) who had been killed in action on 16th September; she would also be awarded an Armay pension of £1 16s. 8d. per week.
