Sunday 27th May, 1917

Walked to Ettinghem [Etinehem] about five miles away and had photo taken*. The German prisoner who got away on May 23rd was shot dead in trying to get out again.

*If this photograph has survived, it is not in my possession. The only known pictures of Leonard from this period of his life were taken before he set off in January 1917.

The following additional information is from Martin Farebrother:

Etinehem on north bank of Somme just west of Bray.
