Today's march was about the hardest march of the past four days as the roads were very muddy, & added to this there were a considerable number of hills to climb before we reached our destination, which was about 15:30 hours. #Belgium

As on the two previous days on the march there were repeated showers of rain which, needless to say, made the march somewhat heavy as the roads were very muddy & the cobblestones slippery. #Belgium
