A day off. Had a good look round. The French are still here but we take over the railway from them on 20th February. A cigarette will work wonders with them, and we usually cadge bread.

The following additional information is from Martin Farebrother:

Froissy [is] now the museum and yard area of the Froissy-Cappy-Dompierre Heritage railway (Chemin de Fer Cappy Dompierre, CFDS, or Petit train de la haute Somme). At this time the line had been built by the French along the Somme canal to Frise, and probably then across the Somme to the lines west of Cléry. The lines also went north through Bray to Plateau, and back south-west to Proyart, La Flaque and Wiencourt. A pre-WW1 metre gauge line (Albert to Montdidier) also ran north-south through Froissy providing military traffic, and by later 1917 was also providing a civilian service as far as Bray. By this time or very soon after a standard gauge French/British army line was built south-north from Wiencourt to Plateau, joining the west-east line from Albert towards Péronne. So Froissy was a very important railway yard and transhipment.
