Monday 4th January
The whole Division moved out to manoeuvre area. Col
Christian and Col Johnstone delayed us considerably. Very good ground to work
over. Started on gun layers tests for 9th Battery. Very solid going for horses.
Returned to camp at 3.45PM.
Discussion with Colonel Hobbs. I suggested we
should leave all vehicles on the area permanently and only bring teams back.
Guard to be left consisting of gun layers who will thus get more time for their
very exacting work. water tank burst tonight and flooded portion of the camp.
Luckily our camp is too high to be affected. Mr Jenkinson’s resignation
accepted.
