Fire ordered to cease & I took two companies down and captured about 100 prisoners [in pencil: many more were captured by other troops.] Billeted at DAMMARD.
11 September 1914 Marched to GRAND [RIZNY - crossed out] ROZOY about 13 miles. Germans were not seen and I am afraid they have slipped us. Heavy firing on our left rear during afternoon. Probably French followed Germans to SOISSONS.
