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 In August 1916 his brigade was withdrawn from the Somme and deployed to the Ypres salient.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: July 14th 1916
Motored into Doullens in the afternoon. Saw Branker & Hobbs there, both 5th Divn staff; their divn was on the way through for the push. I also saw two Australian Battns marching through.
