Up early and immediately after breakfast sent off the remaining cooks so as to have dinner ready. Saw the crowd off at 9a.m. It being wet and drizzly and cold. Kept 3 men back and did the rounds of the billets for salvage etc. and had occasion to use my boot on a Frenchie who persisted in trying to purloin some of our gear.
By midday all was completed so left the 3 men to come on later with the lorry which was to bring on our surplus gear and the men’s packs. Joined the crowd again at Boulogne by means of a car I had kept back. Our quarters were comfortable having plenty of straw to sleep on.
