5 June 1915:

Visits to Madames?!
On 4 June the only entry was  letters to Raymond and (Aunt) Jessica and on 6 June a letter to Aunt Maggie and 7 June Norrie. So this appears to be a quiet few days. No further entries till 12 June.

During this time the Battalion took part in a sports competition with the 2nd Gordon Highlanders. It was scheduled for 8 June but postponed a day because of rain. On 9 June they had a water polo match in the canal running by Hinges and Mont-Bernanchon.

The above entry gives a detailed description of the billet location- and a teasing reference to Madames at Robecq!

If anyone has any references to Madames or the windmill referred to above please comment.
