100 YEARS AGO TODAY: The March to the Rhine - Day 2.

After staying in Thulin for over a week, men of the 61st Field Battery depart for Cambron St. Vincent at 03h30, arriving at 14h00 after being inspected enroute by the G.O.C. 3rd Canadian Infantry Brigade.  Weather reported as damp, foggy and very cold (this will be a staple of the march over the next four weeks).
