The 8th KORL move to an area close to Louverval about 10 miles south-east of Monchy. Reggie returned from leave on the 6th.
On the 10th, the battalion moved into trenches at Louverval. Here life in the trenches was quiet and they spent a week in relative peace compared to the frantic action they had experienced during May and June just a few miles further north.
On the 18th, the 8th KORL moved to Fremicourt for some well-deserved R&R and baths.
On the 24th, they were back in action in the trenches and again it was relatively peaceful with just the occasional skirmish until the end of the month. For this tour, Major B.H.H. Perry was in command so that Reggie could spend a few days on attachment with the Heavy Artillery.
