On the march again next morning at 8 am full marching order. Tired, sore feet and little mist descending. We leave the rest of the Brigade and Division behind.
\nFairly hilly and muddy country but more like the prairie of Canada.
\nPassed thro\u2019 Dury, Saleux, Pont de Metz and arrive at Ferrieres at noon. In all we have marched about 35 miles in three days.
\nWe are assigned to the usual poor billets. A stable with a very leaky roof and the sides knocked out in places. Many men fall out on the march through sore feet and faintness. A run is made on the Estaminet for beer and spirits but there are no drunks recorded. Have a meal of bread, cheese and jam and hot tea. At 6:30 pm we get hot soupy concoction. More rain!
\nThere are two representative noble families here with their Chateaux Vicomtesse d\u2019Ivory and Vicomtesse de Dresdin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
