[13th November 1918] fell in and turned upside down in the water at the bottom.
Johnston & I arrived about 10 minutes after the accident – and found an officer & the driver discussing the situation while two fellows inside & under many sacks of corn & bales of hay were faintly squealing.
We got down to the lorry & pulled out the sacks of corn & the hay & disentangled two very frightened & unhurt old gentleman both of whom would have been drowned if the water had been six inches higher.
I am getting worse at speaking French though I have been very virtuous about reading
Best love to all
