We just f»t do*n wlieie we could. Muny «Ten hadut room to ^il on the lltor ; bul all the move the mtirur. In less than two bourj from the tune »e miw Knsland iMt we were in Frarce. There certainly mm not much time lost by the boat. Some dertroyersaiid a couple of other troopship.s «4aie along with a.«. but not a Kij;n of <» •'inb" was .seen. Arriied in France we <3id not take the train but went up t ) a rest camp for a day or so The weather WM <iuite c iol ind we had tents to sleep in, so we anticipated a cool night for the firtt one. However, we were served «ut with pile* of blankets, and every one. almost to his sui prise, slept comfortably, notwithstanding the fact that we had been oaed to huts in which were Ko..d coal tires. In goini? through the town of disemUrka- ] ti,)n we had a chAiice to lee what eveiy. thiBg French looked like. The first lhin« that itruck us was the number of French Women and girls who wintei to sell us "Oranges", chocolate and spearmint. The laUer was gum which happ-ned to be NVingleyN spearmint. During the tinie which it took us tn "fall in" and "move off," we had the chance to buy from iibout two dozen ditlfrent people. The .irviges weie three hiilf t'ence each, and the uuni two |)ence half iKsnny. I *hink the choc- olate bars weit the s^me price a» the oranges. How the women all got there . on such short notice "has one." llearin" them talk to one another was a source of amusement to the boys, who could understand .ibuut as nmch as did the men on the ToWVr of lUbel. The day ul the rest camp allowed ns t<> become i»0)Uiinted with the Frtncli money, and iltbough Knglish money is mostly used in the British army canteens. I got some chanijtd to Fieiich for th'it jiurpoie. The French system is practi- cally the same ai our own, or, I ijuess it thould be vice vei.-,*.
