Friday 26th February 1915

23^rd Division covered a further 13 miles towards Folkestone, going from Edenbridge to Tonbridge (60 miles in four days).

2Lt. Robert Clement (Bob) Perks (see 21^st January) left home and travelled to Folkestone where he would report for duty with 10DWR once the Battalion completed its march from Aldershot. On arrival he sent a picture postcard to his sister, Joy, addressed from what he described as his “perfectly topping billet” at ‘The Riverlet’, Radnor Park Avenue, Folkestone.
