It was a great relief to get to headquarters, and the officer on duty kindly lent me his comfortable sleeping bag.

The next morning I made my way back to Nieppe, and telegraphed to the various units, searching for Dandy.

His story was that the intelligent animal had untied himself from the tree and followed the working party home from the orchard.

It is most likely that he had preceded them.
