Though our advanced troops were in touch with the enemy some seven miles away in front, we were made to hold an outpost line each night east of the town. To bring up rations the Transport had all the distance from Framerville to cover about eighteen miles. Never had Abraham so long a journey for this purpose.
The drive was straight along the great road from Amiens to St. Quentin on which the Germans had made their westward thrust in March; and the first day saw them seven miles back at Framerville. To the south they lost Moreuil, Mezières, Demuin, Cayeux, and Caix, and to the north Morcourt, Cerisy, and Chipilly, while 7000 prisoners and 100 guns had been taken by 3 p.m.
The Battalion moved back to Framerville, where Quartermaster's Stores and Transport rejoined. The enemy's retirement. Road-mending in No-Man's-Land. The devastated area. Open warfare. The Montolu campaign. Operations on the Omignon river. The 61st Division relieved before St. Quentin. End of trench-warfare. On March 16, 1917, the Germans left their front line and scuttled back behind the Somme.
