Armentières

I show a little bit of a ghastly promenade near Messines, some six miles from Armentières.

The first week in January the Regiment was once again in its original sector at Armentières.

The two units met at Waterlands Camp outside Armentières, and were united to form one battalion.

Armentières is sprawling and ugly and full of dirt—a correct and middle-class town that reminded me of Bristol.

On that sector between La Bassee and Armentières it was practically an impossibility to dig in.
