Very little was happening on Boxing Day 1918 for 42 Squadron RAF. Saultain Aerodrome was probably fairly quiet. Which was no doubt exactly how the Officers of B Flight would have wanted it. Last night‘s Christmas dinner, which began at 18:30, had an estimated finishing time (“T Out”) that was simply given as “????”. So that wouldn’t have been early, then.
Daily Routine Orders
Just as on Christmas Eve, nothing was happening. Just the appointment of the Orderly Officer and the NCO in charge of the guard.
