Second Lieutenant Pitts
Thursday 14th December 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
Today your
correspondent decided to leave Albert and catch a lift on a General Service
lorry to go and visit the 2nd Battalion at Berles-au-Bois. On arrival he found
that Second Lieutenant J P Pitts, who had been attending 3rd Army School, had
returned and taken command of D Company. Second Lieutenant R E Oakley has taken
over command of C Company from Second Lieutenant L A L Fink.
Second Lieutenant Oakley
Whist I was
there a draft of ten other ranks arrived from base. They were all men who had
served in France and Flanders earlier in the war with a number of different
regiments, had been wounded and sent back to “Blighty” as the troops out here
call home. Now recovered they have been posted to the 2nd Bedfords.
