Lieutenant R E Oakley [X550/1/81]
Thursday 1st
February 1917 from our correspondent in
the field
The 1st
Battalion adjutant remarked to me today that they, part of 5th Division, are
now quite close to 6th Battalion, who are part of 37th Division. Last month 6th
Battalion were at le Touret today it is 1st Battalion who are acting as brigade
reserve. The adjutant commented: “Very cold weather and very cold billets for
the men”.
2nd Battalion
are still at Baurepaire, hard at work building a railway. We hear that
Lieutenant R E Oakley has been granted the acting rank of Captain whilst he
commands a company.
