21 November 1915:
After some 7 months at the Front, Louis arrives back at Home in Broughty Ferry. It must have seemed like different world and yet it was only a few days travel away.
Yet the reason for coming home was to pursue a commission as a junior officer. These men were expected to lead from the front so had a short life expectancy- and Louis would have seen this at first hand in the previous 7 months.
