Had a strenuous day instead of going to bed. Two of us went to “Outersteene” and “Bailleul” about 10 or 11 miles away to see old friends. We walked part of the distance down and got a lift by a lorry reaching there in two hours. Had dinner with my friends and a good yarn, it just being 12 months since I was last there. We then went to“Bailleul” where we spent an hour, Then we set off home again at 5p.m. reaching camp at 7 p.m. and going on duty at 8 p.m. We had a fair way to walk coming back and also boarded four vehicles during the journey, luckily threatening rain held off until we reached camp. No train in during the night so managed to snatch a few hours sleep, which made up for not having any during the day.
