At last I have got back to France. As a result of my labours at the Staff School, I have returned as a regimental officer on staff probation, which means that I shall have to undergo periods of attachment to various units in the field before receiving an appointment.<br><br>We crossed from Folkestone to Boulogne in the s.s. Victoria, one of a convoy of three fast Channel steamers. On our port bow were a destroyer and a large motor patrol boat, on our starboard side a second destroyer; several s.s. airships flew overhead, and as the sea was calm and the weather fine the crossing was most enjoyable.<br><br>The military landing officer at Boulogne told me that I was posted to the 58th (London) Division, and should get further orders from the commandant of St. Martin's Camp in the morning. This is a pleasant surprise because my brother Percy is Brigade Major of the 175th Brigade in the 58th Division.
