Battn goes north marching in full marching order. One of our boys dying thru cerebrospinal meningitis contracted at the stinking huts at La Clytte.
*Meningitis – An inflammation of the protective membranes that line the spinal cord and the brain usually due to an infection. As there were no antibiotics during the First World War and soldiers were often billeted in close quarters the disease quickly ran rampant, and could leave victims deaf, blind or with permanent brain damage.
