where we go to get our grub. We just run

across the garden with our mess tins

and some fine meals await us. The five

of us then return to "our" house and

sit round the "round table". My four

companions are English chaps who came 

up from the Base with me, and we get

out grand together.

Our work so far has been the repairing

of the damage done by the war to Cambrai

College, which is one of the many fine

buildings here. It was used as an

Hospital by the Germans for about three

years. It is now occupied by the

British, and the Anglesey R.E. are engaged

putting it in order. My job has been

the mending of stoves, and we are getting

on fine. We work from 7:14 a.m. till 4,

taking a light lunch from 12 to 1, and

getting a big dinner on our return at 

night. After that out time is our own.
