These motors. were 1 used_ `for passenger traic in Lon-' ` -don, England, before the war. Manyi` of them still had, _advertisementsl- 1 i on _them, `such as.

All I I march of 10,minutes' took .us to ourl| billets; I must say We were not `at 1 all impressed with them.

Well, we made the best ofij a bad job, though there was quite! a bituof grumbling; it was cold and, drafty, and of `course you couldn t` make res. There were. no drills lhere, just roll _calls and rie inspee-. itions. Hagebrooke is a pretty big? `town, and` you may be sure we all took advantage of this and inspect-i led-_ the place. Thevrst _thing I did; was to nd a place where I could? get a good feed, I think that mosti everybody made this their rst} .piee`e of. business in town. Now, in! `all the towns We had been in, we! seldom,- if ever, came across a] restaurant, they didn t seem `to be: `the fashion in France, usually onel [had to purchase steak or eggs and! iget them cooked in` the kitchen of 3 `an estaminet or inn.

There was [lots of "it, and though it inay be , `plain to some, yet it was a luxury !to us. Two francs each satisedt '2 the landlady. and us as well. Now that the inner man was satised,_ awe all separated; I next found a. 'barber s_ shop, here also they Were` icoining money. A Wash, haircut and '- shave` soon made a new man of one. iAfter Walking around the town for; an hour or so. I must say that it; was similar in appearance to anyi old country town. There was noth-J ing foreign about it. I may remark! here" that the farther we got away` `from the ring. line `the better we twere received by the inhabitants .' gIn, the meantime the fever had beenl `traced and conned to one platoon 'in D Co. , 1.1. - Il-_-L f I u Ulllgain on the March l The Batt., with the exception of lthat platoon which was quaran- tined, left Hazebrookeon Thursday, 25th Feb., and marched to Outter- in steene, a distance of 8 lulon1etres.\ l K We took up the same billets which we fformerly had in Outtersteene. The usual routine was `carried out. roll calls, rie) inspections and route marches. 11 Monday, the 1st Maich, the lath Batt. marched off at `am. an arrived at Bac. St. Maur, close to Fleurbaix and Sally. Here we were billeted in a canvass imaking factory`. It was full of l (machinery, but was closed down H _owing to the war. We slept on the ll _stone oor, in the spaces between tihe machines. "The next day, Tues- s ay, the Batt. left Bac, St. Maur. for billets about 3 kilometres out- lside. This time our billets were a . whit, more comfortable, though welj " have seen better. The majority!` were lucky enough to be put in ' barns,` while others had to be con- i tent` with_ sheds. Nothing` unusual ' occurred until the Batt. got orders ; to _go' into the rst _line trenches.` This was the first time . the Batt. had` the opportunity" of holding trenches of ' its own."
