A dilapidated village cottage in amongst the ruins of which was a child's watering can.

It was always possible for one to see the remnants of household furniture &c scattered about. When Germans retreated from a village as a rule they generally left it thoroughly broken up. Their method of demolishing a house was to insert a charge of dynamite into the side of the wall. This was all that was necessary for the purpose.

Lower down the street a big hole caused by a mine explosion was blown in the middle of the road. How pleased we were to get the welcome news that we were to move back to Beaullincourt!
