In spite of the bad weather and of the difficulties attending concentration and training, it is evident to me that no time has been lost in establishing between the various units of this recently formed Division that esprit de corps which counts for so much on the field of battle. I have been unable to inspect you in the field, but from all I saw to-day I have carried away the impression that a resolute spirit pervades all ranks to join their comrades at the front in maintaining the glorious traditions of my Army. Farewell my Soldiers. May God bless you and protect you. 12th January, 1915 Accession Number: KO2590/214 Only a proportion of our collections are on display at anyone time.
