passing through Catillon [Catillon-sur-Sambre]. The roads are very muddy. We are billeted in Priches. The people here also were robbed of everything of value by the Bosches. Madam's husband has been a prisoner for over 4 years. The Bosches forced her to sell her cows at their price in German paper money on which they put an inflated value reckoning the Mark = 15d. They controlled all food here & forced the French farmers to deliver their milk at central Laiteries at their price.

Poultry was stolen all the time. [Continued on Page 10]
