Wednesday 2nd August 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
The 1st Battalion seems to be leaving the Somme, at least for the time being. Today it has marched to bivouacs near Dernancourt, south-west of Albert and on the River Ancre where it arrived early this afternoon.

The 2nd
Battalion is also leaving. It also passed through Dernancourt this morning and
now is on-board a train heading for Longpré-les-Corps Saints. After sterling
efforts in this month long battle both battalions are joining 7th Battalion in
areas north of here for resting and refitting. They no doubt hope they will not
be returning.
