The Italians spoke no English

29th November 2016

Solemnly took over from the Italians the support position at Ralova, and housed myself and the men in the most comfortable quarters I have seen in fifteen month. The Italians spoke no English and we spoke no Italian, so both carried on in indifferent French. However I found out most of what I wanted to know. They have built themselves wonderful places with local stone and we are at last in luck’s way to get here. They will probably move us again because this is too comfortable. Country very pretty here.
