We were on the point of entering Bapaume; the "pushing up" was going extraordinarily well, owing to the excellence of the staff-work, and the energy and efficiency of all the auxiliary services the Engineers, and the Labour Battalions, all the makers of roads and railways, the builders of huts, and levellers of shell-broken ground.
We found the rabbit wire, barbed wire, and other material in a shell-broken outhouse, and, grabbing hold of it, handed the stuff out to the platoon.
I still see the jagged ruins of the little village of Abancourt totally destroyed in two days' bombardment standing sharp against the sky, on a ridge which looks over the Sensée valley; the shell-broken road in which the car most complaisant of cars and most skilful of drivers! finally stuck; and those hastily dug shelters on the road-side in one of which I suddenly noticed a soldier's coat and water-bottle lying just as they had been left two months before.
