Captain Dingwall Kennedy unfortunately had to leave the Battalion sick and his place was filled by Captain D.C. MacArdle. Prior to relieving the 5th A. & S.H. the Battalion had a "night in bed" a most unusual occurrence. On this occasion the Battalion held Kurd Hill, Heart Hill, Carnarvon Redoubt, Snowdon Street, Sniper's Spur and Sniper's Post.
During this period the Battalion exchanged their Mark VI. rifles for those of Mark VII. and had a few days' practice at a range close by. Captain F.W. Brown, R.A.M.C., was with us for a short period, taking the place of Captain MacArdle who departed on home leave. No reserve area could compare with Regent's Park.
Angry with himself he tried to hide his face from their eyes by gazing down sideways into the shallow swirling water under the bridge but he still saw a reflection therein of their top-heavy silk hats and humble tape-like collars and loosely-hanging clerical clothes. Brother Hickey. Brother Quaid. Brother MacArdle. Brother Keogh.
