Sir Henry Rawlinson:-- "Now that the 6th Division is passing to the command of another Army, I desire to place on record my sincere appreciation and warm thanks for the valuable services rendered by you since you joined the Fourth Army in September last.
"The Division has passed through strenuous times and has seen some heavy fighting, especially in September between Holnon Wood and the Canal, and at Bohain and Vaux Andigny in October, where the gallantry and determination of all ranks filled me with admiration.
"I congratulate most heartily you all on the victories you have won, and trust that at some future time I may again find the Division under my command." The Division spent the period 14th to 19th November in a march, via Catillon and Avesnes, to the area round Solre le Chateau and Sars Poteries, where it was to assemble for the March to the Rhine.

For this it was organized in three Infantry Brigade Groups and a Divisional Troops Group under the C.R.A.The 16th Army R.H.A.

Brigade (Chestnut Troop, "Q" and "U" Batteries) was attached to the Division, and formed part of the 18th Infantry Brigade Group.

The 2nd Brigade, R.F.A., marched with the Divisional Troops Column, the 24th Brigade, R.F.A., with the 71st Infantry Brigade, and the Divisional Ammunition Column with the 16th Infantry Brigade.

Each Infantry Brigade had a Field Company and Field Ambulance.
The march resembled the progression of a snake, the rear group moving forward at each advance to the area occupied the previous day by the leading group.
