=COMPILER'S NOTE.=
The Compiler will be grateful if readers will point out to him, _in
writing_, any errors in the narrative or inaccuracies and omissions in
the personal records of members.
The completion of this volume was delayed considerably through
difficulty in obtaining the required information. For the second volume
a good deal of material is already in hand, but success cannot be
ensured unless ex-members will co-operate with the 28th Battalion
Association Committee and the Compiler.
In the many actions in which the Battalion fought, no single person
could possibly observe all that happened. To give a complete picture it
is therefore necessary that the stories should be set down by as many
individuals as care to contribute. From their accounts a full and
accurate narrative can be constructed. Lengthy writings are not
required, nor need any contributor worry about style. It will be
sufficient to merely set down actual occurrences and give the names of
persons and places, also the dates and times. Anecdotes with reference
to any Member of the Battalion are valuable and serve to lighten the
story.
The following notes are made for the purpose of assisting the memories
of those who are willing to help:--
I. FRANCE, 1916.--Marseilles to Thiennes. Steenbecque,
Morbecque, Hazebrouck, Erquingham, Armentieres, Rue Marle,
Bois Grenier, Lille Post, l'Epinette, First Raid, Rue
Dormoire, Red Lodge, Messines, La Plus Douve Farm. Move to
Somme, Bertangles, Amiens, Warloy, The Brickfields, La
Boisselle, Pozieres, Ypres, Flers, Geudecourt, Waterlot Farm.
