Mr. Forbes Hears From Old Friend
Who Suffered in Present War
From Glasgow, Scotland, where he
was formerly on the teaching staff of
one of the large high schools, P. D.
Forbes, instructor in manual training
at the Oregon City high school, and
himself a native of the "auld sod"
who has not yet dropped the pretty
speech of the lowlands, has received
a very interesting letter with its bit
of graphic war history. With "hands"
across the sea," J. J. Pickering, a
close friend of Mr. Forbes,' writes to
his friend here to tell of his own part
in the battle of brothers and makes
many interesting notes about the
British participation. Mr. Pickering,
who is with his father in a large car
and carriage factory in Glasgow,
says:
My dear Forbes: - v
I read with pleasure, in the local,
paper an article by you as to the ef
forts being made by the people of
Oregon in. behalf of the Red Cross
funds, and thought I would write you
to let you' see I have not forgotten
you.
"Old friends and old faces,
Forget them never.
Here's to auld Scotland,
Auld Scotland forever."
December, 1914, I decided I would
offer my services. Father and moth
er were much against it as we were
very busy in the works at the time.
However, I considered the matter
fully, and could not see otherwise
than it was my duty, as I was 34
years of age, had not taken the re
sponsibility of a wife, had consider
able experience, you rememberi, in
the Boer war, was strong and healthy
and had always taken an active in
terest in military matters.
February, 1915, I went over to
France as a sergeant in my old regi
ment, the Gordon Highlanders. For
six months I did not actually see any
active service, being employed lead
ing German prisoners to the deten
tion camps behind the lines and doing
other odd jobs, at the same time fa
miliarizing myself with all parts of
the line.
September and October, 1915, I
took regular turns in the first line
trenches without mishap, although
took part in three trench raids, bring
ing in for the three "plunges a total
of 210 men. Words of mine fail to
describe the awful conditions some of
these prisoners were in, and I would
say 80 per cent were delighted at be
ing captured, certainly all who had an
education. I would like to go into
detail as to trench operations, fight
ing; etc., but we are not allowed to
do so and the censor would simply
score it out.
November and December, 1915, I
was in Paris, and early in January,
1916, I again went into the first line
trenches. Late in January, while
taking part in a trench raid, I got a
bad cut in my left arm, just how I do
not know. I fell to the ground and
lay there until rescued by the order
lies at dead of night, and taken to
the field hospital. There my wound
was dressed and I was sent to the
base hospital. While waiting my
turn, blood poisoning set in and my
arm had to be amputated. I lost my

The British soldier is the same as
ever in a hand to hand fight, no equal
in the world. The French and Bel
gians admit it, and even the captured
Germans'.'" I think I can now claim
to be a Scotchman, having twice
fought in Scottish regiments. The
Scotch soldiers are the most feared
on the whole line, they simply laugh
at danger. Of course it is now only
a matter of time until the allies have
a complete victory. It is a wonder
to me we have been able to do what
we have done. I would say Britain
will be at full strength about Febru
ary, 1918, taking into consideration
men, munitions, etc.
Mr. Roberts, who got your place at
the high school, is now in France with
tthe flying corps. I do not think you
would have been required to go if 'you
had still been in school work, but I
well know there is too much good
Scotch blodd in your veins, not to do
your bit if you had been here.
I have many pleasant recollections
of my two trips to America. My
visits to the Pullman plant, Carnegie
works and Cramps were, I think, the
most instructive.
With very best wishes and kind .
