  themselves required a bridge. The canal

  and river bridges were, of course, all

  blown down, and had been replaced

  by temporary wooden ones. Some parts

  of the road were rather hilly, and while at

  the top of a hill, we could generally

  get a fine view of the open country, for

  there are few trees or mountain ranges

  to obstruct the view in this part of France.

  It is like a panorama to see the villages

  dotted here and there, and when the

  sun shines on the red-tiled roofs, the

  scene is pretty indeed. We passed within

  half-a-dozen miles of Flesquieres, and

  I was able to recognize the ridge with

  its few remaining tree-stumps. The villages

  may look pretty in the sun, but there is always there is always a feeling 

  of sadness occasioned by the ruin and

  desolation to be seen on every hand.

     The more I see of France, the more

  impressed do I become with the magnitude
