While at Westbecourt we Stockwell's 164 Brigade practised the Third Battle of Ypres in the open cornfields and amongst the numerous vegetable crops between Cormette and Boisdinghem.
As I studied the countenance of General Stockwell on that country road at Boisdinghem that afternoon I realized that he was no ordinary twopenny-halfpenny brigadier; but I did not then know that this was the man who, less than twelve months later, was destined to stand between Ludendorff and decisive victory in his last dramatic throw at Givenchy on the glorious ninth of April, and seven months later still to be chosen to command the flying column known by his name which captured Ath on Armistice Day and fired the last shots of the Great War.
Then went to see relief plan of area of our forthcoming attack in a field at Boisdinghem." Thus ended our long rest. The evening of June 30 our last at Westbecourt is one which is still well remembered by those who were there, and still much spoken of by those who were not there! It was a lively evening in the various company messes.
