[Place] D�RODERIE [Date] 1st Nov - 8th Nov [Diary] 
During this period the usual parades were carried out and the football competition continued. On the first of the month, orders in the event of further withdrawal of the enemy were issued. About 0950 hours on the 8th the code word "suspected" was received from Brigade and all preparations were made for a move at very short notice. "B" Company immediately moved forward to take over the outpost line held by the 8th Seaforth Highlanders. Later in the day the code word �gone� came through. The Battalion was now ready to go forward and orders were issued accordingly.
