A. W. Miller: July 7th 1918

I am now in Abeele Belgium. It was a long hot march to this place & it was a very sad & silent march too as the whole country seemed deserted & in ruins. Passing thru so many cities, especially Steenvoordie, the tramps of our feet echoed thru the stillness like an uncanny chant of a heathen funeral. Not a soul remained to greet us, not even a dog remained to bark a kindly greeting & all we could see was ruined houses & buildings with gaping holes in their walls.
