We move on to Picquigny with the Band of the General Staff at our head.<br \/>\nLovely Country with undulating ground and covert woods (spinneys).<br \/>\nArrived at Picquigny at 10 am. The ruins of an old castle with the portcullis and main entrance in good condition. The castle stands on a prominent hill above and in the town. The walls of the city gateway are visible.<br \/>\nRested outside the town for \u00bc hour and proceeded to Flixecourt arriving at 1:30 pm.<br \/>\nBilleted at Saint Brothers Carpet, Sack, and oil sheet factory in the drying rooms. Amidst oils and dyes. Sickly and warm. After a rest a party (Wallach, Brulungie, Rowley, and self) of us went to visit the Chateau on the hill. Madame Saint gave permission to us to go around the grounds and detailed a servant to shew us around. Visited the gardens, conservatory, [Vinery?] Stable and Kennels.<br \/>\nAfterwards to tea and bed.<br \/>\nI sleep on a pile of hemp skeins and had a good sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Battalion parades at 8 am and march to a field to be inspected by General Smith and also for him to say a farewell speech.
