Monday 7th August 1916

Peake Wood

Tunstill’s Company re-joined the remainder of the Battalion as companies from 9th Yorkshires and 11th West Yorks took over the front line. The day was quieter, “beyond the usual artillery activity there is nothing to report”. In a letter home to his wife Brig. Genl. T.S. Lambert commented on the quieter interlude and the need for some respite, “Things have quietened down a bit here … I hope we shall get a bit of a rest soon now. The men have done splendidly and are full of themselves but cannot go on indefinitely of course”.

In the evening orders were received that the Battalion would be relieved next day by 13th Royal Scots.
