From the regimental history, page 179:
"Owing to a scarcity of billets in Ohain, "B" and "C" Companies were moved, a few days after arrival to the neighboring village of Ransbeche. The 72nd had made its last move but one in the countries over which the war had swept. They were now in billets which they were to occupy until the wished for hour of their departure for England arrived.
