to park the carriages and stretch a picket line. Pup- tents were pitched in the edge of the woods, and the horses watered at the foot of a road leading from Anglemont Farm, a clump of ruined buildings nearby. In view of the dense overhead cover of branches and the cold, it was judged safe and desirable to light small fires.

                As no orders had been received to move forward, the next two days were spent in resting and getting the horses in the best possible condition. Some amusement was afforded by a nearby aviation field. The following night our little fires were discontinued for the benefit of lowflying Boche planes, which were observed over our woods during the day. Five days had now gone by since we detrained on August 31. On September 4th we were once more ordered to be ready to move.

                The Regiment packed up and started late in the afternoon on still another all-night affair. This time our destination was an echelon north of Rupt-en- Woevre. During the frequent halts, the drivers and single-mounted men dismounted to rest their horses, and it was not uncommon to see one with his arm through his bridle rein stretched out on a pile of broken rock by the roadside fast asleep in spite of the penetrating cold.

                By early morning light, we reached Rupt. The roads were crowded with batteries going and coming, and in the confusion our first platoon took the wrong road, which led them directly under German observation, but the mistake was quickly discovered and rectified at only the cost of a nervous half-hour.
