e stayed on the Kimmel front from September 15th until sometime in February. We were never in anything big here for it was winter time and we had all our work cut out in repairing and rebuilding trenches. Now I have made mention of the fact that we came out for a rest, but that does not mean to say that we didn't work, for whilst we were resting we figured in many working parties. We all learned to believe that

Our section was the best in the Platoon

Our Platoon the best in the Company,

Our Company the best in the Battalion,

Our Battalion the best in the Brigade,

Our Brigade the best in the Division,

Our Division the best in the Corps,

Our Corps the best in the Army,

And that the British were the best in the world.
