More sorry accounts of Antwerp. The Germans, however, have not got all the Belgian army about half of it has escaped.

In the morning we had a wedding here. Annie Johns was married to a young man called Palmer. There were quite a number of people present, but a wedding here is not a very cheerful concern.

In the evening when we came to bed, we were met with strange news from Ellis that it was raining. We had to go to the window to listen to it, the sound being quite strange to us.
