Passing through the Bois, which is rapidly becoming a treeless waste, I went forward in the direction of Fontenay.

As the Prussian bombs, however, were falling thickly into the village, I executed a strategical movement to the left, and fell back by a cross road into Montreuil.

In this village several regiments were installed.

It is just behind Fort Rosny, and on the upper portion, towards the fort, the Prussian shells fell.

It is very singular what little real danger there is to life and limb from a bombardment.
