Tuesday, 17 April 1917

Rain & snow in morning & a very cold gale with it. We moved out from Wallen Chappel about 8.30 AM & passed through Hazebruck & camped at Longuenesse on the edge of St Omer about 1 pm. We camped in a barn there, & after stables we got leave to St Omer. It is a fair sized place, but very dirty. It has a big church there with a beautiful organ & pulpit, but it has a cheap look about all the place. Anyway it was good to get a bit of leave & be free for a bit.
