Thursday 20th January 1916

Divisional reserve billets in Hallobeau.

Another quiet day, devoted to Company training. It seems to have been during this training that Tunstill’s Man, L.Cpl. Matthew Best (see 23rd December 1915) suffered an accidental injury to his chest which resulted in his being treated locally for the next two weeks.

2Lt. Harry Thornton Pickles (see 19th March), who had originally served with Tunstill’s Company before being commissioned, was married to Ada Heuf, of New Eltham, Kent; the marriage took place in Lewisham. Within days of being married he left to serve in France as bombing officer with 9DWR.
