December 1941

[note: there are no October and November entries.]

I reported back to the unit at Avisford House located in the Littlehampton area on 21 December. The unit had moved to Littlehampton from Kingswood while I was away on course. Littlehampton was quite near Arundel Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Norfolk. Christmas was a little more pleasant although it was the third Christmas that most of us had spent away from Canada. Sunday routine was observed on Christmas Day and Christmas dinner was served in the company messes. The year ended with cool and cloudy weather and Major Hendrie in command.
