Lines of hussars rode by, making their way slowly round a train of British Red-Cross ambulances. At Elverdingue I was to see the men in their billets.
Elverdingue was another Poperinghe the same crowds of soldiers, the same confusion, only perhaps more emphasised, for Elverdingue is very near the front, between Poperinghe and Ypres and a little to the north, where the line that curves out about Ypres bends back again. More guns, more hussars. It was difficult to walk across the narrow streets.
Perhaps it went by way of England, and was deleted by the censor as showing munitions of war! From Elverdingue the road led north and west, following the curves of the trenches. We went through Woesten, where on the day before a dramatic incident had taken place. Although the town was close to the battlefield and its church in plain view from the German lines, it had escaped bombardment.
