April 1917
28th We were instructed to be ready to "move off" this morning & at 1 P.M. the section left Mametz by motor transport, together with limber & tool carts etc, en route for Contay where we arrived about 3 o'clock.
Contay is a quiet little village about 11 miles from Amiens & near Warloy. There are very few soldiers here & we are living in the Chateau de Contay, a large & picturesque building of the typical French Chateau style.
The tool carts & cyclists etc arrived here about 5 o'clock.
