29 September 1915:
Rain again. Relieved about midnight by King's marched back to ruined housesat Vermelles. Deuce of a lot of dead horses and broken carts on the road.
The Battalion diary notes the incessant rain , and that by this stage the men had had no sleep for 3 days. It also refers to the relief battalion as the 22nd London Regiment. It was due at 6.30pm but relief only eventually occurred at 1.30am. It is remarked that despite the incessant rain and lack of sleep, the men remained cheery.
