"I am a 'wounded' yet not a 'wound
ed' so to speak," said a medium trench-
mortar gunner, "we had been work
ing hard at a job wben a bit 'of Hun
stuff hit one of our bombs, as we
were loading it into the gun, and we
got a premature burst. ' I am pretty
well hit all over with small bit3 of
stuff, but nothing serious. I don't
rightly know whether it counts as,
proper wound, though I think it ought
to.
"We trench mortars get forward
quicker than the guns and we have
to work a great deal nearer. .,, . Of
course, oemg medium mortars not
the heavy size we were up in our
new positions as soon as the infantry
had dug in. I saw some of our heav
ies and the' "flying pigs", they used.
They are wonderful things in mort
ars, too, firing a huge torpedo over
a long range. -' -
"They are all right for steady t.rehch
work or bursting special dugouts, but
it's our medium bomb-guns that are
handiest in the push." :

After this exceptional Ready-to-Wear business we have only Four Coats and
