Brigadier General CHT Lucas was CO of the 87th Brigade on the Somme. An Old Contemptible and Captain in the BEF, he had spent 1915 in the Dardanelles. This blog is made up of his Diary entries and letters written in the Summer of 1916. These are his words, published on the corresponding day as when they were written in 1916. In August 1916 his brigade was withdrawn from the Somme and deployed to the Ypres salient.

War Diary Entry: 14th June 1916
Conference of COs in the morning. In the afternoon rode into Louvencourt with Raikes & Pierce to watch the 88th Bde practicing the attack in the training area, and see their method of marking out the ground. A fine afternoon.
