cer dashed up to the Commanding Officer, brandishing one
of the pink forms we had learned to hate. But never before had an Army
Form borne such a message as this: "Hostilities will cease at 11.00;
until further orders units will not move beyond the position occupied at
that time." At last there had dawned the day for which we had lived--and
so many had died. Strange to relate there was no tremendous excitement.
Perhaps the philosopher spoke truly when he said that one always has a
feeling of regret on doing a thing for the last time. Perhaps we had
been fed on rumours so often that we took this for one. Perhaps we were
too weary in mind and body to grasp the significance of the stupendous
news. Or was it that our thoughts turned at this time to those grand men
who had given their lives for this great end? Whatever the reason, the
fact remains that there was no enthusiasm in keeping with the event.

We had a short spell of outpost duty, and then moved to Erbisoeul a
village about five miles from Mons. Little need be said regarding our
life after the Armistice. On the whole it was quite a pleasant blend of
training, inspections, dances, concerts, football and leave. Erbisoeul
was an attractive village, and there we remained until, thinned by
demobilisation, we were reduced to cadre strength. The last remnant of
the Battalion reached Gailes in May, 1919.
