Thursday Mch. 22

It was snowing heavily today but when it cleared the snow melted quickly. The German retreat still continues though a little more slowly on the British front, but rapidly on the French. Had lunch with A Coys officers. Crackenthorp, the great Chess player who is with the 36, came in this evening & we had a few games. Of course he won but I was not altogether discredited.

Weather fine but cold. Have not been far today. Made arrangements for Church Parade for Tomorrow.
