| 10 | 1430 | Bde Comd SC and G3 attended the football match between 1 KOSB and Union Sportive d'Etrapagny in the Stadium at Etrapagny. It was a glorious afternoon and the crowd numbered about 1,000 excited French folk and a lesser number of soldiery. The pipe band of 1 KOSB coerced everyone into a good mood by their excellent piping, following which the team of 1 KOSB thoroughly drubbed an enthusiastic but very amateur French football team. At the end of the afternoon the state of entente cordiale was extremely high in Etrapagny. |
