it was decided to take the Railway Living Vans back from St Jean to M13 at Reigersberg Nth & camp there, so I put my kit out also a stretcher I brought with me & went over to the vans with my Mates & soon was fixed up, after notifying the Lieut of my arrival who was at St Jean I was told to await further instructions, there were only 3 stretchers occupied by our men I soon put mine in also my mate. I brought with me rations for 3 days ending Saturday. After I had Tea orders came down that I was to start at 16 oclock on Friday at St Jean on the Shtr.
