Nov. 3rd. Outpost duty up Hollow Lane way. We had a scare in the afternoon and thought we were going to be moved again. Nothing came of it however, and although we were told to sleep fully clothed and Stan and I slept in the kitchen we were not disturbed.
Nov 4th. Physical drill on the march behind the Woodman’s Arms in fog and wet. Got back with huge appetites to breakfast which was waiting for us consisting of sausage, bacon, 4 cups of tea, Jam and cheese etc. Stan and I were by this time thoroughly comfortable at Seymour Place and very happy together for he was a good companion. Leiut. Tyson joined the Batt. from Blackpool
