Christmas Day passed without remark in the Battalion War
Diary, and the Diary of the Divisional Trench Mortar Battery noted simply, “No firing
at all; Fritz heard singing in his trenches”.
Capt. Henry Kelly
VC (see 8th December) left
the Battalion having reported sick; the nature of his illness and treatment
have not yet been established.
As a result, he relinquished his temporary appointment as Captain and reverted to Lieutenant.
