Transcription
We was supposed to rest six days to give them six days the German Army back six days. This was at the Armistice, you see. The Armistice was signed and we was lucky enough that we didn’t have to go over the next morning. So we had a rest, we had six days. We rested there. There was a kind of another city there, like big as Mons and we went in there and rested for six days then we started and we kept going and when we got to Germany behind them we was only two days behind them. We beat them out four days. Outside of that, we could have got a lot of guns and things that they had picked up.
