Some two weeks later the Battalion moved forward by train from Arnecke to Poperinghe. We awaited our share in the fighting; which was to make this battle the most bloody and perhaps least profitable of the whole war. A Battalion landmark. Poperinghe and Ypres. At Goldfish Château. The attack near St. Julien on August 22. Its results. A mud-locked battle. The back-area. Mustard gas.
We moved again on March 25, when the Bucks arrived to take over our quarters at Marchélepot. Passing St. Christ, where the R.E. had bridged the Somme, we saw the first samples of German back-area demolition. At Ennemain the first big road-crater held up the Transport.
At the end of my chapters I have so often shown the Battalion marching back to rest that I shall leave it this time in the line. Among the orchards stand numerous farmsteads, of which a large one known as Gloucester Farm had been our Battalion Headquarters in 1916, during a period of back-area rest. It has again been Battalion Headquarters.
