Marseilles & had no time to take in stores.
Of course I understand we are merely soldiers & the war might have finished without us if they delayed a few hours to get stores in.
Sun. 26th. March
Some talk of calling in at Malta for stores.
Aboard are the 4th Bn, Artillery Hdqrs, & Field Bakery Corp. also Engineers.
1st 2nd & 3rd Bns. left a day ahead of us.
Thurs. March 30th 1016.
Landed at Marseilles at about 2 P.M. think we are off too Havre. Plenty of German Prisoners working around the docks & railway here.
Entrained & started away on our journey.
Fri. March 31st.
Still on our train journey & think we will have another night of it. Lovely scenery & splendid cultivated land.
White roads winding about the green fields with red tiled houses of the villages scattered around completing the colour contrasts.
Best country to be seen – South of France – especially after having an overdose of Egypt - & it is inhabited by a most courteous race of people.
Feeling is very bitter against the Germans. They have the saying "After the War is finished; We Begin"
