Arth r esting Description of. 275 Mile Trek. ° In a letter written on Dec. 28, 1918 to his mother, Mrs, Fred Rowe, of Cookstown, Pte. Arthur Rowe gives the following par- ticularsof his Rhineward trip after the ar- mistice was signed. On Wednesday, November 13 at 5.30 a.m., after the hubbub of an early reveille, breakfast started, as it hed started many times in the past four years, But this morning there was to be s march, over the first few miles of a long journey, for a had heard rumours to the affect that our Division was toy form part of the army that should occupy German territory, ac- cording to the terms of the armistice that was signed and put into effect two days before The eleventh hour of the elev day of the eleventh month of the year'1918, will be an hour remembered by many mil- lions of people, and read about in the worki's history for all time. We fell in about 9 a.m. and soon left behind the little village of Prequencourt, with its many flags and smiling faces and cheers that were loud, and from the heart, as they were when we first came in sight of the same village on Friday, Oct. 18. Whose beart did not go out to those people when we filed out of the woods and saw them and heard rhe wild excitement of a liberated people? And whose heart did not go out to them, when the same evening the German M.G. bullets and poisonous gas were thick in the same village? And again whose heart did not go out to them five days later, after being held at Hasnon, some 16 kilos. east, we marched back to Prequencourt, and listened to the tules of the torment and hardships they had suffered since 1914? The first part of our journey took us over pract cally the same ground that we hed ad- vanced over a few days previously and we saw some of the same people and saw the same railroads with their mined rails, The, Germans had put mines at every second | joint and so ruined all the rails as far, as they could. The main road at_ the | main crossings and at the outskirts of the | villuges had great mine craters, and at one | crossroad there was a crater that must have measured over 80 ft. wide and 20 ft. deep. road had been built around each side of und stone, from the buildings that were wrecked, At one of the crossroads where there was a high railroad truck, along the roud a mine had torn up part of the track snd thrown it upop the roof of a house The day pared by Gnd we saw many curi- ous sights, 'The most heartbreeking, and still the most amusing of all, wax the refu gees returning to their homes, or in many places to where their homes had been. There were old men, young men, boys and children, old women, young women, girls and babies, The fortunate ones were rid ing in motor lorries by the score, the lor: | ries had been supplied by the British for their convenience; the others were moving in vans of their own drawa by horses Some had large wagons drawn by oxen and cows, some had carta drawn by donkeys ine their own carts, Some of them bud sick and crippled people on board. Every body was trying to take back what few ar ticles of food and clothing, bedding and effects they possessed, a great many even pushing heavy wheelbarrows. Near the ~jend of our journey for the day we marched | past the officer commanding our Division and 15 kilometers farther we met our billet: | The band struck up the old | regimental tune, (John Peel! and we broke off at our respective billets for the night. | One billeting purty proceeded a few hours in advance of the battalion and picked out billets, after which they'd meet us and di- rect ux to them. After we had halted we had a hot meal and everybody got fixed | up as comfortably. as possible so as to be rested for the next day's march. Our bil- Jets usually consisted of a room in a house | with straw on the floor, and we generally | had a fire; some were lucky enough to| have good beds, Most of the people used us well in this part of the country and did all! they could to make us comfortable. We! billeted that night in the town of Wallars 'The next day, Thursday, November 14, we marched about 25 kilometers, mostly on the main road and so we saw the same routine of refugees; also prisoners of war, | who had been 'released and a poorly clad! and poor' looking lot they were, Some were very attractively dressed wearing uni- forms of German or Belgian Bands and also. civilian clothes. We crossed the town named Rivian. 'The change was easily no- ticed, by the flags on the windows and on the houses.

It was our first night doing outpost duty and "A" and "'C" companies marched to Mignault, a distance of 34 kilos. (a kilometer is about % of a mile). The remainder of the battalion billeted in a town named Nanst. There is a railway line, and in the yard there was a train of flet cars loaded with narrow guage railway cars that had been left behind. We stayed the first night in a sort of village between Naust and Mignault ahd in the evening of Tuesday, 19th, we moved into Mignault, where our outpost was. Here we stayed until the morning of the 2lst_ We marched 28 kilos over crooked and muddy roads, mostly sec: ond-cluss roads. We billeted in the town of Buzet, and we had good billets. Next morning we had no march, but a pardde and inspection, and the same thing again on Saturday morning, In the afternoon we had paymaster's muster parade. Sun- day morning we had snother march, just went 10 kilos to the town of Villers, We) arrived 'at our billets before noon and the bands guve a concert in the square in the afternoon. 'This was, to the civilians, a great attraction, On Monday we marched 22 kilos to the village of Buzet, It way dull and misty and rained most of the way, and we had poorer billets than usual, Tt was in a school room with about twenty other chaps. The railway line was in op- erution through here and we saw un engine and a passenger coach go through # couple | of times It was the first train we have seen for quite a while. We stayed all dey Tuesday and on Wednesday, the 27th, we marched about 35 kilos to ® good-kized town named Andeones on the Meuse River und well among the mountains, There is some beautiful scenery here and it is a great mining country. We came over come very bai roads, and the main roud along the river, which we followed for several miles, was in a terrible condition. Tt was an up-to-date new roed in 1913, There were a great many motor lorries and suto- mobiles along this road that had broken down, also some dead horses. The riv boats' were running and some of our billet- ling party had » ride up the river by boat. On Thursday, 28th, we marched another 35 kilos. About noon we passed through the large town of Liege and the people gave us a good reception. Here we left the Meuse and followed a-small tributary through the hills, and got billets in two different vil- ages, our company being in Clavier, Ri tions didn't arrive, so we got none next day. Some of the boys' managed to get a feed of chicken, and I think we made « poor opin- jon of ourselves in the minds of some of the people owing to the fact that the chicken wasn't got as honestly as it might have been.
