Managed to put in a good night, the straw making a splendid warm bed. Parade at 9.30 a.m. in the street, when various orders were read out concerning the conduct of the men, management of billets, and various regulations. Went for a route march for a few miles through the lanes, everyone being charmed with the place. Had dinner at 1 p.m. of bully beef and bread bought in the village, which was of very good quality. Spent the afternoon learning a bit of French as now being the time, place and opportunity to learn sufficient to make oneself understood.
