At 9.30 the company's detail leaves Münsteraue. Great send-off! At 10 o'clock the whole company leaves the church square in Vicht. We march to Stolberg. There we begin loading at 1.30. A lot of snow is lying on the ground, and our feet are wet. At 5.37 our transport train sets off. I get a seat in a 2nd class compartment which is well-heated. The route goes through Düren, Neuß, Düsseldorf, Hamm, Soest, Paderborn to Detmold.vfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142326180610474529noreply@blogger.com
