Life in England

On August 2^nd 1914, the 4^th London Regt, Royal Fusiliers (TF) went to Wareham Dorset, for their annual 15 days training.

We left Waterloo at 9.30am and had a pleasant journey on the LSWR and eventually arrived at the camp at 1.45pm.

No sooner than we had begun to get settled down, we had to stand to arms and then got orders to pack up immediately.  As soon as this was accomplished we all partook of a hurried meal of Bully Beef, bread and cheese and pickles.

Shortly afterwards we were once more on the road.  Naturally this action caused great excitement amongst us.

Then we entrained to return to our Headquarters at Shaftsbury Street City Road EC. where we arrived in batches long after midnight.
