The Grand Place is delightful and quaint.

From it, through various archways, one looks down upon the rich verdure of the fields that stretch far off into the distance.
We had a parade of our four battalions one day, when General Smith-Dorrien came to inspect us.

The place chosen was a green slope not far from the entrance to the town.

The General reviewed the men, and then gave a talk to the officers.

As far as I can recollect, he was most sanguine about the speedy termination of the war.
