Parade at clothing store to have kit checked. Also @ admission & discharge room to receive form to fill up. Bapaume taken by us. Roye by the French.

I go to St. Mary Cray with Crocker on invitation by Crocker & I go to concert etc. given by Co-operative Socy. Girls. Splendid time & returned home at 10.30 pm. Miss Brinklow gives invitation to us.

*The website (www.greatwar.co.uk) indicates that the British recaptured Roye on August 27th and Bapaume on August 29th, and that Noyon was retaken by the French on the 29th.
