Synopsis
Excerpt from From the Somme to the Rhine
Left for Canaples, near Amiens, at 8 am. As the train only averaged about eight miles an hour, we were eleven hours on the road, and did not reach our destination until seven pm. It was intolerably hot in the carriage so we took it in turn to sit on the footboards. At Anvin during an hour's halt I managed to procure a tin of salmon and a bottle of lime juice from a hut.
At Canaples, my companion, a fine old quartermaster, in the East Surreys, and I billeted ourselves very comfortably in a farm, and in the morning Madame gave us some excellent coffee and eggs, which we ate in the kitchen. I have never seen so many flies in my life, the table, walls and food swarming with them. They are bred in the horrible middens which all these French farms have in their yards, and the inhabitants appear indifferent to this pest.
