Gerald
Have just learned that we may tell
the names Of tho places in which we
have been. so now I can give you some
idea Of how We have been travelling
around.
We landed at Southampton. England.
on the 2Srd of June and camped at an
English rest camp there over night.
The next day Sunday we marched
back to the docks and onto a channel
boat and that evening started on our
trip across the channel.
We reached Ffavre carly the next
morning and stayed there that night.
The following afternoon (Tuesday) we
started on our two-day railroad trip.
on this trip We passed through Roneu,
the outskirts Of Paris. St. Denis, Troyes
Chaumont and then changed TO the mar
row gauge at Foulain. At Nogent-le-
Roi we were picked UP by motor trucks
and taken to the town Montigny- -Roi
This is in the eastern part of France
Gin the department Of Haute Marne)
This was our home for about a month
and then we started on our trip FOL
lie Maus (Sarthe). On this trip w
used more southern route passing
through Auxerre. Bourges and Tours
lie Maus is about ITO miles southwes
| Of Paris. We were here about mont
also, and Their started overland in GU
I trucks for the front by the way o
! Charities and Versailles.
We were not lucky enough to pas
through Paris. but could see Fife
