Staged Under Fire Then Rest billets Bring New Delights
After three days on the front our unit moved to rest billets for two months to regain strength from Blighty drafts. We settled in a small town named O and began a relaxed routine from 8:45 to noon with guard duties scarce. I taught Tommy to pitch horseshoes and devised a sketch to launch a stock company with him as actor, continuing next week.
