I was at a place called Frameries eight miles
from Mons on Armistice Day and that was
because we were the same level in the front
sort of thing but eight miles farther north.
The 1st Division was at Mons and the
2nd Division was at Frameries.
There wasn't anything to drink very much
that was handy. This Frameries place was,
you know, the French, the Belgium,
they were walking around the streets there
and everybody was feeling good, of course.
And then we moved into Mons and we stayed
there for, the armistice was signed and we
stayed there for maybe ten days or something
like that and then we started to Germany.
There was quite an argument about it.
They were going to send two divisions to
Germany and the other two divisions would go home.
And the 1st and 2nd Division said they'd been
there long enough, send the 3rd and 4th Divisions
to Germany and let the 1st and 2nd go home
but Currie and the rest of them didn't see
it that way so the 1st and 2nd Divisions went
to Germany and the 3rd and 4th Divisions
went back to Canada.
