Bay, I saw the damnest things I everaw or
ever will see in this world, I hope. It was late in
the afternoon, and we'd been goin on "high" all
day. I was about all in myself, and most of the
boys with me were in about the same fix. One of
the guys was a "f irst aid" fellow, and I saw him
go forward on his hands and knees and help a,
Yank who had been knocked out by machine-gun
fire; right beside this kid was a Boche who was
pretty badly wounded, and the American fixed his wounds, too, as well as
he could. '
T was so near all in that I couldn't peg along very fast Two or three
of the other fellows were in the same boat The "first-aider" started back
towards us. Another fellow was three or four steps ahead of me, but wo
were both looking at the two wounded, men lying side by side. All of a
sudden quickerin' you can say 'scat' that Boche rolled over towards the
wounded American; the Boche had a knife in his hand and with one swipe
he cut the Yank's throat wide open. We all made a jump for the. . .
and the fellow ahead of me beat me to him. I tried to do something for
the American boy, but it was too late."
This is one of the horrors of the Hun told me first-hand broneof xrar
doughboys. '' '.
