1t was busy little road. 1t was not
popular road Everybody on it had
taken a dislike to it and was moving
away with enthusiasm. In the distance
were three German prisoners and one

the Germans were having trouble with it.
It kept getting in their way. They

Several ration carts were approaching.

air was full Of hard tack. 1t flowed out

1t was snow storm Of hard tack, and
nobody paused to ask where it fell.
Every ditch was unbelievably popular.
1t didn t have to be deep ditch nor a

was perfectly able to conceal himself in
a six-inch ditch. Heads would poke I'D
