Hurley diary notes for 22nd October 1917: \'Weather unpropitious Wilkins & I went to Savy to our 69th Squadron (Flying). We enjoyed the two hours motor run, though it was infernally cold. The avenues & foliage are taking on those wondrous shades of Autumn & the whole country is a riot of marvellous colorings. The leaves are falling & winter is fast coming. We took a couple flashlight pictures, at the hangars & returned to St Pol where we put up at the comfortable Hotel de France.\' MLMSS 389, JG 15/10/13 Ministers caption: \'Lieutenant Stanley George Brearley, pilot, and Lt Robert Harold Taylor, observer, of No. 69 Squadron (Australian), Royal Flying Corps (RFC), starting out for a night bombing operation.
