Handress Lloyd, Raikes. Ross and I went over to inspect the 2nd Army School at Wyske starting at 930am. We lunched at St Omer & found all the shops shut as it was a saints day. We came back through Hazelbruck stopping at Poperinghe where we had tea in the 29th Divn cinema theatre & watched the ‘movies’. Dined with McBrien at the 3rd Canadian Divn Hd Qrs. Webber, Ironside & Panet were there.
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 In August 1916 his brigade was withdrawn from the Somme and deployed to the Ypres salient.
