Sunday 25th February 1917

Brigade Reserve at Zillebeke Bund and around Observatory Ridge (one and a half Companies at Stafford Street, in Sanctuary Wood (I.24.b.3.5); two platoons at the Redan, just north of Rudkin House; and the remaining two Companies to the north-west edge of Zillebeke Bund (I.21.a.1.5).

Yet another fine, but misty, day. In the evening the Battalion was relieved by 12th Royal Sussex (39th Division) with the relief completed around 12.45 am on 26th and the Battalion proceeding to Ypres, ready to board the train for Vlamertinghe, en route to Winnipeg Camp. However, there was heavy German shelling of Ypres, and in particular of the area around the station which somewhat delayed progress.

L.Cpl. James Arthur Heap (26^th January) began to be paid according to his rank, having previously held the post unpaid.
