On the wallaby once more. We started off at 9.30 again passing through Abeele and so to Reninghelst, crossing the border into Belgium at 11.30a.m. finishing the journey about 3 o’clock, a distance of about 8 miles. We were all fairly tired, but only one man dropped out. On arrival I had a sponge over and clean change of underclothes and felt a new man. Heavy traffic on the roads, large numbers of motor lorries being inevidence, also a lot of Chinese coolies, some of them being big men and superior to the type we know in Australia. I feel sure a visit to China would raise our estimation of the Chinese much higher than it is now.
