All the way from Nieppe to Hill 63 one came upon the headquarters of some unit.

At a large farm called "Lampernise Farm" all the transports of the 3rd Brigade were quartered.

I used to have services for them in the open on a Sunday evening.

It was very difficult at first to collect a congregation, so I adopted the plan of getting two or three men who could sing, and then going over with them to an open place in the field, and starting some well known hymn.

One by one others would come up and hymn-books were distributed.
