Evidently anxious to find out if the Canadians are
back on the job there. The men regard the AVION area

An inspection of the 38th Battalion was held in
the afternoon at which Major General David
Watson, C.B. C.M.G. Commanding the Fourth Di-
vision, was present.
Weather was fine and mild throughout the day. RBO'S
