Today I am appointed to carry food to the watches at the first aid station. Two big jugs, full of tea and soup are handed to me and I am told to go ahead. To my question where I am supposed to deliver them, I am told “somewhere behind the mountain.” I start out and after asking many questions on the way and taking the wrong direction several times, I arrive finally after an hour.
