23rd February 1915


A camouflaged ammunition limber behind the Artillery encampment, Mena 1915.


Tuesday 23rd February

Col Johnstone’s Brigade carried out its final shoot. I was ordered to explain scheme and operations to a number of Infantry Colonels who had come out to witness shooting. Shooting of Brigade at commencement very poor. Battery Commanders did not understand ranging from use of map only. Later in the morning work was better. Lecture at night and criticisms. Colonel Hobbs practically gave us a "good bye" address. He anticipated our Division will be soon broken up and moved off. Instructions received to prepare 8th Battery for departure 27th inst.

Necessary orders given. Commenced French class.
