First stop was the beef feedlot of George Wheeler, near Brussels, a splendid example of a moderate size operation, feeding/ heifers only, growing feed re- quirements of mainly ensilage corn,' sqme hay and grain, on what .certainly appears a well- managed farm project. Highlight of the day's visits had to. be the tour of the sev- eral original 100-acre and 200- acre farms that now comprise the farm operation of Bodmin Ltd., near Brussels, about 1200 acres owned and , another 200 acres rented, by the owners, Stewart Procter and his sons Charles, Ross and George.

Two German planes flew over at a great height, and. some e workers could not understand why At 3;00 p.m. the tropeS boarded three trains and headed inland, stopping at nearly every station on the way. The French ' People inland were really relieved to see troops heading, for the Front and showed their . .gratitude by giving wine' by the bottle to any soldier that would take it. 'The weather was hot and the trains crowded, so a quantity of wine was consumed as the water in France was not fit to drink. Darkness fell and the trains still pushed on. Most of the men dozed until the trains came to a halting Stop. Thinking that, the destination had been reached the soldiers started to collect their equipment. However, no orders . were received to disembark and after about fifteen minutes the train started to backup. Believ- ing that they hb.d come to a junc- tion, the men settled down again. Daylight came and places that had been seen lfore were being recognized. It was not until these familiar sights did the troops realize that they were going back to the coast. Every large station was jammed with refugees begging for food and r the soldiers, feeling sorry for these pitiful people, gave all their rations away to them. On the 15tH of July at 11;00 a.m. the Brigade arrived back at Brest, knowing now that the , French Government had capitu- lated and that they had stopped just forty miles from the ad- vancing ,German Army. Orders were given to destroy all the Brigade's vehicles as there would be only one small ship to carry the Canadians back to England. On 16th of July at 8:00 p.m. the "Canterbury Belle", a small Channel steamer, steamed out of Brest with 3,300 men aboard. (This steamer was built to carry 700 passengers.)
