[Place] CHIEVRES [Date] 17th Nov [Diary] 
A detachment attended thanksgiving service in Church. The Commanding Officer and officers present marched to the Town Hall and were received by the Mayor. To commemorate the entry of the Battalion into Chievres it was decided to present to the town the Battalion Flag. The Battalion formed up in the Grand Place and after the flag had been blessed by the Padre (Capt The Rev. B.J. Whiteside), the Commanding Officer in a fitting speech handed it to the Mayor who received it on behalf of the townspeople. After the ceremony the Commanding Officer was received by the Mayor. A pamphlet on the presentation of the colours will be forwarded with the Diary of December.
