Sgt Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2nd Field Ambulance: In France. In his diary – ‘This morning, on getting out of bed, we were met with a sight that astonished us, it had been snowing all night, everything looked beautiful but fearfully cold. We marched out of Buire at 10am in blinding rain and stood shivering in it for three hours on the side of the road waiting for motor buses. These arrived at 1pm, after six hours journey we arrived at La Chasseur where we are to rest for a week or so’.
