& we have travelled to Candas via Calais & Abbeyville. pretty rotten trip. I curl up on the floor & try to get a sleep but no go. Bob Weaver swipes a collie for a mascot but it gets away from him at the depot. No breakfast, plenty of mud no dinner, we march ten miles back down the track we just rode up as far as Berteaucourt 10 blooming miles & no grub, we were in this place at 10.30 AM. & now it is nearly supper time & we have just got back to it again. Oh you red tape, I am tired, hungry, footsore, wet feet, & got a headache, rotten supper & not much of it. billeted over some horses, no boards under the straw we sleep on, just poles.
