22 September 1915:
On 22 September the Battalion moved to Clerques (Clarques per the battalion diary) where they arrived at 8.35pm and were billeted.Interestingly both places exist and both are within walking distance of St Omer. Clerques is 4 hours away to the West, and Clarquesis 3 hours away to the South. The Battalion diary has the men marching for 2 hours, so on balance the battalion diary is probably right. Clarques.
Blog note:
If you have any connection with Louis Harley or any of the men listed in his diaries, or if you have found this useful please add a comment.
