Christmas Day was celebrated in a fashion wholly British in this small Italian village, and despite inclement weather, the arrangements made by the Battalion went off splendidly.
In the morning the Officers played the Sergeants at football and the former were rather heavily beaten by 7 – 3. The match however provided a good deal of fun, as the ground was in a very bad condition, in many places completely under water.
At 12.30 the Christmas dinners by Companies began & continued well on into the afternoon. A Coy had their real Christmas dinner the evening before owing to a difficulty in securing the room for Christmas Day.
Lt. Col. Bartlett DSO was unfortunately away, on leave, but when Major P PICKFORD DSO, MC visited the dining rooms he was acclaimed by all events, and toasted with musical honours, not once but many times. Scenes of joyous hilarity ensued and Christmas Day 1918 was undoubtedly the most enjoyable the Battalion had spent under active service conditions.
 
1944 – 2nd (AB) Bn Oxf & Bucks LI – Ardennes Offensive
Christmas Day the Regiment moved through Ath, Mons and Charleroi to Givet, reached at 0400 hrs. By noon the 52nd had taken over the Givet bridgehead and defence of the town. At this time Givet was an American replacement depot and American troops were available to help in the defence, as were French troops to man posts along the river towards Dinant, where the rest of the brigade was posted

There was a halt for tea just North and clear of STRAUCH: rain fell continuously during the march, everyone was wet through and many old soldiers said it was the wettest day they had known. In many cases men in all companies were so billeted that having one fire among only 4 or 5 made getting clothes dry to some extent possible.
Before marching off Officers Commanding Companies were told that their companies must march either in Jerkins or in the “Mark VII” Waterproof Capes. Only B Coy chose the former and kept to it, and were copied by C Coy next day – but both orders of dress have much to be said for and against.

Forward of WEYMETZ the roads seemed bad, and the map was very misleading: this affords an example of where very careful reconnaissance by mounted officers was necessary.
