Wir marschieren weiter über Millonfosse, das Städtchen St.Amand-les Faux, Bruyères, an einem kleinen Grenzfort vorbei über die belgische Grenze und dann über Bléharies, Hollain, Chercq nach Tournai. Hier werden wir in einer Kaserne untergebracht.---
Tournai ist ein wirklich hübsches Städtchen. Endlich wissen wir wieder einmal, wie wir unsere freie Zeit zubringen können. Hier haben wir Gelegenheit, zuweilen ins Theater und auch ins Kino gehen zu können. Der Dienst ist ganz angenehm. Er besteht zumeist aus Exerzieren, Gewehrreinigen, Putz- und Flickstunden, Instruktionsstunden und vielfach auch aus Bauübungen.
Wir haben den Eindruck, daß alle Anzeichen auf eine kommende deutsche Offensive hinweisen. Zuweilen werden große Nachrichtenübungen abgehalten.

We march on via Millonfosse, the little city St. Amand-les Faux, Bruyères, passing by a small frontier fort across the belgian border and via Bléhaires, Hollain, Cherqu to Tournai. Here, we a are accomodated in barracks.---
Tournai really is a beautiful little city. Finally again, we know how to spend our spare time. Here we have the opportunity to visit the theatre or the cinema. The service is light. It is mostly exercising, gun cleaning, hours of cleaning and patching, receiving instructions and often also construction exercises.
We also have the impression, that all signs indicate an upcoming german offensive. From time to time, there are big signalling manoevers.

IMarciamo via Millonfosse, il piccolo paese di St. Amand-les-Faux, Bruyères, passando vicino ad un piccolo forte di confine attraverso la frontiera belga e, poi, attraversando Bléhaires, Hollan, Cherqu fino a Tournai. Qui ci sistemiamo in caserma.---
Tournai è veramente una bella cittadina. Finalmente, di nuovo, sappiamo come trascorrere il nostro tempo libero dal servizio. Abbiamo la possibilità di andare al cinema ed a teatro. Il servizio non è pesante. Per lo più si tratta di esercitazioni, pulizia delle armi, pulizie e riparazioni, addestramento e spesso allenamento nelle costruzioni.
Abbiamo anche l'impressione che tutti i segnali indichino una imminente offensiva tedesca. Ci sono, a volte grandi attività di segnalazioni.
