Further up the road from Maison Blanche there was a place called Arriane Dump, where the Engineers had stored material in preparation for our attack.

A long plank road connected it with the Anzin-St.Eloi road.

On a dark and rainy night that wooden track (p.

165) was an unpleasant place for a walk.

Lorries, wagons, limbers, transports, horses and men crowded it, and the traffic every now and then would get blocked.
