One of the depressions among the hills was called Sausage Valley.

In it were many batteries and some (p.

138) cemeteries, and trenches where our brigade headquarters were.

At the corner of a branch road, just above the ruins of Contalmaison, our engineers put up a little shack, and this was used by our Chaplains' Service as a distributing place for coffee and biscuits.

Some men were kept there night and day boiling huge tins of water over a smoky fire in the corner.
