War Diary Entry: 21st June 1916

Welch, Pierce and I went to Varennes at 10am by car , to discuss the attack with the 108th bde (36th divn), they are the next brigade on our right. They have got too big a front and so are leaving a gap of 200 - 300 yards along the left bank of the Ancre which may make it very unpleasant for us. De Lisle addressed all four battns on the bombing ground in the afternoon. A Corps conference at Marieux which all brigadiers attended at 4pm.
