Billeted in huts near Rue Marle

Following his physical collapse on arrival at Rue Marle two days earlier, the Battalion M.O., Lt. Wilson, sent CSM Harry Dewhirst (see 14^th November) to 69 Field Ambulance Unit for further examination. However, he was then returned, the same evening, as being fit for duty.

Pte. Septimus Chapman (see 25^th September), who had been in England since having been wounded in September, was posted to 11DWR at Brocton Camp. However, he failed to report on time and was reported as ‘absent off sick furlough’ until finally reporting himself for duty at 8pm on 23^rd November. He would be admonished and would forfeit nine days’ pay.
