us, and not content with "strafing" us there, he would shell our dugouts while we were resting in the daytime. I was at Ypres and Poperinghe two or three times and the first place is pretty well demolished and the latter placed has been shelled quite a lot, at Dickebusch there's only a few houses standing but they are all knocked "galleywest" and crooked. St Eloi is flat now and grass growing over it.
We came out from there and had a week or ten days march (called it a rest) well we did rest at St Omar for four days) and then to the Somme.
We went into camp just in front of La Boiselle wood about a mile and a half from Contal maison five miles back from Fritz's front line, had to do all our work at night and walk to our trenches about four and a half miles from line, had to do all our little bit I suppose you have heard that we were made into a Pioneer Battation and attached to the 4th Division Canadians.
