We now have a new O.C. Our Colonel handed over the command to Major Thompson on Friday a special parade being held at which he inspected the unit & was introduced to all the N. C. O's. On Saturday the Colonel said good bye & left the same night on his way to Australia. Good luck be with him, a man I have great respect for, St. Col A. H. Tebbutt D.S.O.
Tuesday 18th Sept.
On the wallaby once more. We started off at 9.30 again passing through Abeeli & so to "Reninghelst" crossing the border into Belgium at 11.50 A.M. finishing the journey about 3 oclock a distance of about 8 miles. We were all fairly tired but only one man dropped out. On arrival I had a sponge over & clean change of underclothes & felt a new man. Heavy traffic on the roads large numbers of motor lorries being in evidence also a lot of Chinese Coolies
