From there the march was continued to Arneke, and there the men were told that a short stay would be made, but early the next day orders were received to march to Proven, just inside the Belgian frontier. On the road, however, fresh orders were received, and the latter part of the journey, from Wormhoudt, was done by train.
Omer we were told where we should detrain, a fact hitherto concealed from us, and eventually at 2-35 p.m. in a blizzard and snow storm we reached Arneke, detrained at once, and marched about five miles to the little village of Hardifort, where we arrived in the dark.
We left the train near Cassel and marched to the village of Arneke, where I spent two nights at the house of the curé a kind hospitable old man. After that we marched out of France and arrived at a camp about a mile west of Proven, in Belgium. I wish I could omit all reference to the operations in Flanders 1917.
