1st September 1914
CREPY, leave camp at 9 am put into field at 11 am. Watch skirmishers and the gunners ready to move off again at 12.45 pm.

An amusing incident not to the credit of No.13 happened here. A few bullets whizzed high overhead and the men underneath ducked their heads. A move then commenced, but promptly checked, to go under cover of the wagons. Royal Engineers blew up CREPY railway station, a supply train full of supplies and injured biplane. Shell hit German motor car with several officers along road. Fighting along the road and numbers of wounded thought in. Germans captured mail.
