Our Friends the Canadian Broad Guage operating Company No 58 received word to pack up & be ready to march out of Camp at 9 am. They were very busy this morning getting ready & we mingled amongst them saying Good Bye to several Boys who had been great chums while in our lines. They are very much like us in their ways & habits. Their Twang amused us very much. They use the words Gard Darne very frequent & Sure & I Guess, when I am having a Chat with them their Twang amuses me as a rule more than the yarn they tell. All our boys like them very much & we trust to meet them again.
