The Brigade G.O.C. thanks the 8th KORL for their efforts at Polygon Wood. The battalion move south to the Bullecourt area just north of where they had been at Louverval back in July.
The trenches at Bullecourt are no worse than they had been at Louverval and the time that the battalion spends at Bullecourt are relatively quiet.
8th KORL take turns with the 10th Royal Welsh Fusiliers in the trenches at Bullecourt interspersed with camp at Mory. They are visited in the line by several senior officers including Gen. E. Allenby & Maj.Gen. C.J. Deverell.
On the 12th, Reggie left the line for a trip to Paris. The journey is not described as “on leave”. He returned to the battalion on the 24th.
