Fine. Travelling in the train till 2pm. We got out at a place called Bailleul (about 10 miles from Armentiers) and went out to a farm about 7 miles out & picketed the horses & the men slept in the barns. I was on horse picket all night. Well I dont want to spend next New Years day like this. We can hear the guns going all day & night.
