End of My Leave

It’s the end of my R&R leave. Returning to the army. I caught the 2 o’clock train at the Lourches station. There’s a whole convoy of men returning from leave on their way back to their units. The train was packed, so along with three buddies I decided to go to the “Reserved for Police” compartment. We were comfortable. Let’s be a little nervy and see what happens … No worries, it all worked out. We arrived at night on the 24th at the Boulay station and reached the Boulay camp at 1 o’clock. We stayed there until the morning of February 6. Still some civilians.
Tuesday, February 6
Left the Boulay camp in the morning and arrived at Maizeroy the same day. Nothing to report.
Wednesday, February 7
Left Maizeroy and arrived in Chesny the same day. Nothing to report.
Thursday, February 8
Left Chesny in the morning and arrived at Joy aux Arches the same day. I visited the lady who was there on Saturday, December 9, 1939, when Dubrulle was wounded. We talked for a few minutes about this mysterious incident or accident or whatever it was. She owned the house.
