118) OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE.
The 25th of December 1915, was to be our first Christmas in France, and as the day approached there was much speculation among our men as to which Battalions would be in the line.

At last orders came out that the 13th and 16th Battalions would relieve the 14th and 15th on Christmas Eve.

I determined, therefore, to spend my Christmas with the former two.
