Friday 13 April 1917

April 13, 2017 by Sarah McLennan

We get notice to pack up and ready to move to Villers au Bois by 12 noon.

Hodge, White & self walk to Villers au Bois overland feeling very tired & wet thro’ up to knees thro’ wading thro’ the mud. Very cold.  We take 4 hours to do a 2 hrs. journey.  A cold reception for the billets are windy & damp.
