Thursday 26th October 1939

I know what rumours are, but this time we really are moving! And soon!

Speculation as to our destination is further complicated by the fact that the advance billeting party (which goes tomorrow) has been ordered to Newark-on-Trent to meet some Brigadier. I can’t think we shall all move to Newark – that’s perhaps merely a rendezvous – nevertheless it’s a hell of a way from the obscure town in Yorkshire. Ah well! It’s already written in the Book, no doubt!
