J.C Walker (Lieutenant in [Lancashire] Fusiliers) and I walk into Godewarsvelde. Purchase postcards and have coffee. The people speak very good English but charge “very tall” for everything.
The Company march to Bailleul (16 or 18 kilometres return) for purpose of having a bath!!!!!! A waste of time and shoe leather as the men will need another bath at the end thro’ perspirating on return journey.

No. 3 and 4 Companies change their billets as they are in another Regiment’s area. We march thro’ Flêtre and Godewarsvelde. Very poor accommodation and crowded
