On returning from seeing him put into a hospital train at Merville, I was held up for some hours in the darkness by the British Cavalry streaming past in a long line.

I was delighted to see them for I thought we had broken through.

On the next day to our great disappointment we saw them going back again.
Near Canadian Headquarters at Sailly there was a large steam laundry which was used as a bath for our men.

It was a godsend to them, for the scarcity of water made cleanliness difficult.

The laundry during bath hours was a curious spectacle.
