Miserable Weather
**The second day was most miserable weather, floods of driv- ing rain. Everything came un- stuck. Pont Eveque and Chatenu Larose, both well fancieri, were both beaten. Then we had an air- raid warning 'red.' The first sign of trouble was guns or bombs in the distance and the usual mur- maring in the sky which is indica- tive of trouble coming.
