Billeting down in a thoroughly traditional manner in a French farmhouse stable, likened by The Sphere to what it might have been like to be 'with Marlborough in Flanders'. Numerous British soldiers in France during the early years of the Second World War make the most of their overnight lodgings on a bed of straw.
