stuff from the other depot was partly successful here, the Major in charge proving very obstinate until I stood up to him. It is often the case with these infernal men, they treat an Australian with a consideration refused to one of their own, simply because we speak to them more as equals & are not backward in arguing with them if necessary.
Passing through Amiens the damage was more noticeable than before, as each day it is shelled. One street was almost destroyed as a fire occurred & several houses were dynamited to check it. Arrived back at Daours about 7 feeling very tired & turned in about 10 P.M. Did something over 60 miles in the car but saw nothing of note on the roads bar a few Yankees, their stirrups being of the pocket cowboy style & several French Howitzer guns mounted on Rubber wheels drawn by motor lorries. It is noticeable that a lot of their artillery is moved in this fashion, the lighter guns going right inside the lorry.
