From the Regimental History, page 29:
"After a seven-day tour in the trenches the Battalion was relieved by the 78th Winnipeg Grenadiers, and moved back to bivouacs erected at he Chalk pits near Pozieres. Never in the history of the 72nd was the Quartermaster's hot soup and rum so heartily appreciated as on this occasion. The. men, completely "done up" after seven days of almost incredible exposure and hardship, rolled into their muddy "bivvies" and fell asleep without the slightest delay. On the following day the Battalion moved back to Bouzincourt, about two and a half miles north-west of Albert, into better billets."
