*[[Percy Wilfred Machell|Lt-Col. Machell]] to [[Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale|Lord Lonsdale]]: {{quote-left}}"One thing is certain, viz. that we ought to move on from here with [[Brigade]] as soon as possible – people are mocking at our men & they hate it – recruits say it is no good joining a [[Battalion]] which does not get out further than [[Blackhall]]....I expect things near Ypres are so bad that Kitchener is thinking seriously about Home Defence, & this is probably his reason for [[Kitchener's Army|creating local armies]]. Anyway what we ought to have is a move sometime soon....the men are getting rather stale here, comfortable as we are.{{quote-right}}" <ref>{{lowther|recno=279}}</ref>
