On water fatigue again. Nothing else doing.

30 men transferred to our lot from Marignolles. (1st Train Crew ) Out all day learning road.

The following additional information is from Martin Farebrother:

1. I cannot identify a place called Marignolles, or anything close. The Train Crews Companies (TCCs) were numbered 18th to 22nd. This transfer was probably from the 18th TCC, since it was the 18th who were transferred away on May 16th 1917 (see below). We have no other information on the 18th TCC.
2. [Later]‘Marignolles’ is Merignolles, a station just south of Froissy on the newly constructed SG line from Wiencourt, and on the light railway. This station is adjacent to Chuignolles (see 4 March). Information from British Army trench maps of the area.

Out at 4.00am. Breakfast at 5.00am, then to Frise by first train. Out again in afternoon to Proyart ? learning the road.

To Freeze in early morning then Chugnolles. Lovely hot shower bath in afternoon.

The following additional information is from Martin Farebrother:

Chuignolles, on line back SW towards Wiencourt.

Same again, but did not get back to Froissy until 7.30pm.

Out learning the road again. Another trip to Freeze ?

Same as Feb.27th. Saw one of our observation balloons brought down by German Taube, which in turn was also brought down. The two men reached ground safely in parachutes.

Out learning the road. Went to Freeze [Frise] at 6.00am, got back at 1.45pm. Shunting up to Big Guns – 9.2 – with shells.

The following additional information is from Martin Farebrother:

Frise, on the river Somme, east of Froissy and of Cappy village.
