Once settled at Frensham the men were immediately
subject to a strict and vigorous training regime, in anticipation of an early
deployment to active service. They were in training seven days a week at first.
They were up each morning at 5.30 and spent the day in a variety of drills and
exercises. They were in bed before 9pm each evening, sleeping around 12-14 men
to a tent, with the men from particular towns and villages kept together as
much as possible. Washing took place in a lake about a quarter of a mile away.
Col.Sgt.
John Kearns (see 18th September) was promoted Company
