  Very difficult to make out, but it looks like details of reinforcements, I think.

  If you look after the names, though, it says thing like 'x officers, x men' (x being a number). Whether the names are of the officers commanding detachments or perhaps places they're picking people up at is unclear.

  I've featured this page on our Facebook page so we might get some answers on what these coded names mean

  Not sure but I think they are Signal Pad Code Words. e.g. : Plaice/Pike/Peacock/Pilchard/Face codes being used on signal pads. I seem to remember an entry on a signal pad for 'Face'. Also, see 5th line down entry on the diary page . ..."D415 from 'Q'. X Corps Wire...." D415 may be the number of the person sending the signal pad/ or the number of the signal - regarding the number of Officer reinforcements.

  A Signals Pad I tagged a long time ago – Left hand Side at bottom shows it is from FACT , which seems to be a code word for the signal sender.
