The brigade marched back to Amplier and billeted in huts, the other 2 bdes are at Beauval. We started off 9am & everyone got in before 1pm. Brand passed in a car just as we started from Bus and asked me to dine. Rode over to Beauval after lunch to see the Divn hd qrs, & had tea with Cayley. Started 7.30pm in a car to dine with Brand at Hennu; found Bayley there on the same staff. They telephoned to Gervice Thorpe who is GSO1 of the divn next door, & he turned up after dinner.
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 In August 1916 his brigade was withdrawn from the Somme and deployed to the Ypres salient.
