14 November 1915:
'Shifted from Merville to 'Lonely Erith fort near Laventie. Hard frost. Lot of fatigue.'
The other forts were Elgin, Eglise and Road Bend. These appear to all form parts of the trenches into which the men moved. They were taking over from the The King's Royal Rifles and Grenadier Guards and the trenches were in disrepair. hence the fatigues. One man killed by snipers.
