We left for Ailly-Ht-Clougher. This was a fairly decent sized town. and we had a pleasant time with the 12th Bde. Including a few route marches around the surrounding country, which was fine. It was here I took up my duties of Cyclist and consequently saw a good party of the country. We remained here for 12 days, leaving on the 10th of December.

We left for Francequeville. We stopped there one night. But it was the night of my life. The cold was intense and I had no blanket. Besides being billeted in a barn, or two walls and half a roof to be exact. We lit a fire, and around this we sat praying for "Reveille" and trying to keep ourselves warm. However morning came and we were not at all sorry.

Arrived at Hallloy-Perois, a very small village. Our time here was mostly devoted to Bde. days.
