Priestley sent a postcard to his family recommending that
they should cancel their intention to visit him in Folkestone on the grounds
that he had been told that the Battalion would be moving, “next weekend” to
Bordon Camp, near Bramshott in Hampshire; “We have received definite orders and
the advance parties go this morning”. His expectation was that there stay there
would be short and that they “should be ‘out’ (ie abroad) in less than six weeks”.
L.Cpl. Henry Markham
(see 7th April) began to
be paid as Lance Corporal, having held the rank unpaid for the previous six
weeks.
Sgt. Robert William
John Morris (see 9th May)
was reported by Cpl. King and RSM Thomas Broadley (see 25th
January) as having been ‘absent from instructional parade at 7am’; he was
admonished by Lt. Col. Bartholomew.
