Mud, Rats and Shells. "
I must have slept f.ir ,!wo or three,
hntirs. not the refreshing kind Unit re-i
stills from clean sheets ami soft pil
lows, hut the sleep that comes from
cold, wet nnd sheer exhaustion.
Suddenly, the earth seemed to shake
nnd a thunderclap burst In my ears. 1
opened my eyes I was splashed ull
over with silcky mud, and men were
picking Ihemselves up from Ihe bottom
of the trench. The parapet on my left
htnl toppled into the trench, completely
blocking It with a wall of tossed iip
earth. The mini on my loft lay still. I
rubbed tin mud from my face, ami an
awful sight met my gaze his head
was smashed to a pulp, anil his sled
helmet was full of brains nnd blood.
A llenn.'in "Minnie" trench mortar)
had exploded In Ihe next traverse. Men
were digging into the soft mass of mini
In a frenzy 'of haste. Stretcher-hearers
came up the trench on ihe double.
After n few minutes of digging, three
still, muddy forms on stretchers were
cnrrlcil tlown the comiuiinicntiou
trench lo the rear. Soon they would
he resting "somewhere III France." w ith
a little wootlen cross over their heads.
They had done their bit for king anil
country, had tiled without tiring a shot,
but their services were appreciated,
nevertheless.
1. tiler, on, I found out their mimes.
They belonged to our draft.
I was dnzed nnd moiimilcss. Sud
denly a shovel was pushed into my
hands, nnd a rough hut kindly voire
said :
"Here, my hid. lend u hand clearing
the Irench. but keep your head down,
ami look out for snipers. One of the
Fritz s Is a daisy, and he'll get you if
you're not careful."
Lying on my belly on the bottom of
the trench. 1 tilled snudhngs wllh the
sticky mud, they were dragged to my
rear by the other men. ami Hie work of
rebuilding Ihe partipel was nil. The
harder 1 worked, the better I felt. Al
though the weather was cold. I uis
soaked with sweat.
Occasionally a bullet would crack
overhead, and n machine gun wmild
kick up the mud on the hushed In para
pet. At each crack I would duck and
shield my face with my nrtn. one of
Ihe older men noticed this nctinti of
mine, and whispered :
"Iion't duck at the crack of a bul
let. Yank : the danger has passed you
never bear the one that wings yen.
Always remember that if you are going
to get It. you'll get It. so never worry."
This made n great impression on m:'
at the time, and from then on. I adopt
ed his motto. "If you're going to get It.
you'll get It."
1 helped tue wonderfully. I used It
so often afterwards that some of my
males, duhhed me. "If you're going to
get It. you'll gel It."
After an hour's hard work, nil my
nervousness left me. and I was laugh
ing and Joking with the rest.
Al one o'clock, dinner came up ln
tbe form of n dixie of hot stew.
1 looked for my canteen. It had
fallen on" the Are step, nnd was half
hurled In the mini. The man on my
left noticed this, nnd told the corporal,
dishing out the rations, to put my
share In his mess tin. Then !' whls-
"plop" would give me a start of fright.
I never got used to this noise during
my service In the trenches.
I would wntch the arc descTlheil hy
the star shell, and then stare into No
Man's laiml waiting for It to burst. 'In
Its lurid light the barbed wire ami
slnkcs would be silhouetted against Its
light like n latticed -window. Then
darkness.
Once, out In. front of our wire, I
heard n noise and .saw dark -forms
moving. My ride was lying across the
sandbagged parapet. 1 reached for It,
and was taking aim to tire, when my
mate grasped my arm, ami whispered,
"Don't lire." He challenged in a low
voice. The reply came back Instantly
from the dark forms :
"Shut your bllnkln' mouth, you
bloomiu'. idiot; tlo you want us to click
II from the liochcsV"
Later we learned that the word, "No
challenging or liiing, wiring party out
In front." had been given to Ihe sentry
on our right, but he had fulled lo puss
It down the trench. An ollicer bail over
heard our challenge and the reply, and
Immediately put the offending senlry
tinder urrest. The sentry clicked
tw-enfy-one days on the wheel, that Is.
ho received twenty-one days- field pun-!
Ishmeiit No. 1, or "crucifixion," as
Tommy terms It.
This coiiMsts of being spread-eagled
on the wheel of a limber two hours a i
day for twenty-one days, regardless of
the weather. I'uring Ibis period, your
rations consist of bully beef, biscuits
and walcr. . , -
A few months later I met this sentry
ayd jie spnlHlvd ,to, io that, since, being
"enicltlcil." he had never failed to pass
the word down the trench when so or
dered. In view of the offense, the
iiWove punishment was very light, lu
that failing lo pass the word down n
trench inuy niean the loss of many
lives, and the spoiling of some impor
tant enterprise in No Man's Laud.
CHAPfER VI.
Avoid, "Fall out for ten minutes," was
given than each Tommy gut out a fag
and- lighted It.
Fugs are Issued every Sunday morn
ing, nnd you generally get between
twenty ai)d forty. The brniid gen
erally Issued Is the "Woodbine." Some
times we lire lucky and get "(!old
flnkes," "Flayers" or "lied Hussars."
Occasionally an Issue of "Life- ltays"
comes along. Then the older Tommies
Immediately get busy- on the recruits
and trade lliese for "Woodbines" or
"tloldllakes." A recruit only has to
he stuck once In .this manner, and then
he ceases to be a recruit. There Is
reason. Tommy Is a great cigarette
smoker. He smoke., under all coudl
Hons, except when unconscious oi
when he Is reconnoiteiiiig In No Man's
Land nt night. Then, for obvious rea
sons, he does not core to hnvo a light
ed cigarette In Ills mouth.
SI ret clier bearers carry fags for
wounded Tommies, When a stretcher
benrer arrives alongside of a Tommy
who has been hil Ihe following conver
sntlon usually takes place: Stretcher
I benrer "Want tl fag? Where are you
I hit?" Tommy looks up and answers,
"Yes. In the leg."
After tlistnissul from pnratle, wo re
turned to our billets and I had to get
busy Imuicdlnlcly with Ihe dinner Is
sue. Dinner consisted of stew matie
from fresh heef, n couple of spuds,
br'ly beef, Maconocliie rations and wa
ter plenty of water. There is great
competition mining the men to spear
with their forks the two lonely pota
toes. . .
After dinner I tiled to wash out
the dixie with cold water and a rag,
and leurned another maxim of the
trenches "It can't be done." I slyly
wiitched one of the older men from
another section, and was horrified to
see him throw Into his dixie four or
live double handfuls of mud. Then he
poured in some wtiter, and with tils
hands, scoured the dixie inside and nut.
I thought he was taking an awfjd risk.
Supposing the cook should have seen
him I After half an hour of unsuc
cessful efforts I returned my tllxle to
Ihe cook shack, being careful to put on
the cover, nnd returned to the billet.
