 | | On the occasion of this visit to Divion the Battalion Headquarters were moved to the further end of the village, much to the chagrin of the local brewer, whose dignity was pathetically upset by having his magnificent accommodation demeaned by the presence of a mere Company Headquarters. |
 | | In Divion we remained eleven days, the only outstanding event of which was a grand review of the 11th Brigade by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, K.T., G.C.B., G.C.V.O, K.C.I.E., Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces in France, at Houdain, about two miles distant from our billets. |
 | | For the last time we said "good-bye" in Divion on March 3rd, marching to Bois des Froissart, a new camp just north of our old stamping-ground of Hersin, where the Battalion was employed in wiring the front line in the St. Emile Sector. |
