20 March 1917; Tuesday

Up at 7.30. Parade at 10 o’clock. Pottered about all day. Walked into Meteren 1 at night with Harvey and Holman and called at Jeanes2. Had eggs and chips and spent a pleasant evening. Lost our way coming back and arrived about 9 o’clock.


  1. Méteren (B) is 6km NNE. of Outtersteene (A), 5km W. of Bailleul; Michelin square I3. 

  2. Jeanes, or Jennis: nothing more is known, although “Jeannes”, also at  Méteren, is mentioned again on 28 April; possibly the same place. A café or similar?
