Left Cabanatuan today after dinner. We had hard work getting across the river which is still high. Lt Hannay is left behind to operate ferry. Sgt. [Robert] Maney is in command of Company. We reached the small town of Talavera at sundown. The Cavalry had taken it, as they are ahead, We are “hiking” the legs off us, try to keep up.
