August 12th 1914

All went for Battalion drill until 12.o’clock. Returned to schools. After grub all 1st draft told to fetch their bags and marched to Headquarters, and from there to Waterloo (SECR) where we caught train to Chatham at 4 o’clock, and arrived about 6 o’clock. Quartered on H..M.S. Egmont. Very comfortable quarters. Grub excellent. Commander Glennie R.N. in charge. Very decent chap.

  1. Brian, I suggest the abbreviation after Waterloo is SECR for South Eastern & Chatham Railway (qv on Wikipedia).

    • Corrected. It’s easy to see the C when someone else points it out! Link added as well. I got some of these abbreviations but not all of them. Thanks!
