They looked better when we had given them some biscuit, which of course we did at once. Very soon after that I saw a farm which our artillery had hit, and which was in ruins and full of dead Germans. They had not had much of a chance against the British gunners, and I noticed that along TEN MONTHS IN THE FIGHTING-LINE 97 the road leading to the farm ammunition was lying in heaps. It was a gruesome place to billet in; but in spite of the German dead we passed quite a com- fortable night at the f...arm. Next day we were on the move again, and reached a river where a bridge had been blown up. This delayed us till the follow- ing morning, as our transport could not cross. But we found a way out of that trouble by taking the transport along a railway, and a rough, hard job it was, too, for we needed four horses and men with ropes to do the hauling, as the wheels kept getting stuck between the sleepers. But in spite of all the difficulties we got the transport across, and reached a town which the Germans had passed through; and we did not want telling which way they had gone, as we could see champagne bottles and wine bottles along the road for miles — drink which the Germans had looted from the town.
