The weather holds for a couple of days, making for a fairly easy trek. The men sleep where they can – in fields, by the side of the road, in commandeered houses and barns. Bradford doesn't particularly like sleeping on the ground, but as an officer he rates an actual bed whenever possible.
He learns that the second lieutenant's name is Charlie Wellbridge and that he's from York and speaks fluent French, which comes in handy. Bradford wasn't exactly expecting every Frenchman they met to speak English, but he was hoping to require a little less translating. Fortunately Wellbridge doesn't mind, although after a while Bradford wonders if it's just that he likes showing off.
