Thursday Apr. 25. '18.

Horned in with our officers, and
got a fairly good night's sleep. Arrived
at Troys about 7 A.M. Went through
a large French Army bakery. Left
Troys at 11:45. Passed troop trains
of Italians and French about every
twelve minutes all the rest of the day.
Apparently something big is coming off.
Passed through Chaumont. Went
on to Langres. Arrived about 5 P.M.
Our car wasn't to leave until 4:41 or
7 A.M. Couldn't find out which time
was rite. Langres is a beautiful town
built on a nole and sourounded
by a great wall. We hiked about
a mile and a half up the hill to the
town in a pouring rain. Had a
good square meal that was much
needed and got a room at a hotel
Turned in at 9 [deleted] and piled out again
at 3:30. Took the cog railroad down
to the station[deleted].
