Between the declining road on the right that falls into the gloom, and the black cloud of the Alleux Wood—where we hear the convoy teams assembling and getting under way—a field extends.
Entre le chemin en pente qui, à droite, descend des ténèbres, et le nuage sombre du bois des Alleux – où l’on entend sans les voir les attelages du Train de combat s’apprêter et démarrer – s’étend un champ.

The convoy of lorries, a long chain of foursquare and huge projectiles, rolling up with diabolical din, hurls itself along the road.

» Après, i’ rouspétait contre une autre jambe de laine, parce que sur le bordereau de réparation des cartes, qu’i’ disait, on n’avait pas mis le Service des Subsistances, le Troupeau de Bétail et le Convoi administratif de la 328e D.I.

In the thinnest of the dark you could see the jumble of poilus that went on and up—like the sea itself, you'd say—and carrying on across all the convoys of artillery and ambulance wagons that we met that night.
On voyait dans l’clair de l’ombre le fouillis des poilus qui montaient, qui montaient – t’aurais dit d’l’eau d’la mer – et gesticulaient à travers tous les convois d’artillerie et d’autos d’ambulance qu’on a croisés cette nuit-là.
