Much cooler than usual. Walked to Merville during afternoon, about 6 Kilos & returned through Neuf Berquin about 7½ Kilos; long but pleasant walk. Distribution of honors took place at Merville just prior to our arrival, consequently the town was full of military men of high rank, also a good number of men who had received honors. Met five Tommies who had received the Military Medal; they were 5 of 27 who came back from an attack made by 670 on the Somme on July 1st last.
