f Continued from flaturdav. 1
TlVpre were reasons, of course, for
the difference between conditions Id
Belgium and on tbe Sorame. On the
Somnie we were constantly preparing
for a new advance, and we were only
temporarily established on ground
which we bad but recently taken after
long drumming with big guns. The
treiiehes were merely shell holes con
nected by ditches. Our old and ubiqui
tous and variously useful friend, the
sundbag, was not present in any capac
ity, and therefore we had no parapets
or dugouts. The communication
trenches were all blown in, and every
thing had to come to us overland, with
the result that we never were quite
sure when we would get ammunition,
rations or relief forces. The most
ii w fnl thing was that the soil all about
us wub filled with freshly buried men.
If we undertook to cut a trench or
enlarge a funk hole our spades struck
Into human flesh and the explosion of j
a big shell along our line sent decom- j
posed and dismembered and sickening 1
mementos of an earlier fight shower-'
lug among us. We lived in the muck
and stench of "glorious" war, those of
us who lived.
The German Dugout and What They
Found.
Bere and there along this line were
the abandoned dugouts of the Ger
mans, and we made, what use of them
we could, but that was little. I bad
orders one day to locate a dugout and
prepare it for use as battalion head
quarters. When I led a squad In to
clean it up the odor was so overpow
ering that we had to put on our gns
masks. On entering we first saw two
"dead nurses with our ghastly flash
lights, one standing with her arm
nround a post, just as she had stood
when gas or concussion killed ber.
Seated at a table In the middle of the
place was the body of an old general
of the German medical corps, his head
fallen between bis bands. The task j
of cleaning up was too dreadful for
us. We Just tossed In four or five
fumlte bombs and beat It out of there.
A few hours later we went Into the
seared and empty cavern, made the
roof safe with new timbers nnd'notl
fled battalion headquarters that the :
place could be occupied. j
During this time I witnessed a scene '
which, with some others, I shall never
forget. An old chaplain of the Cana
dian forces came to our trench section
seeking the grave of his son, which
had been marked for him on a rude
map by an officer who had seen the
young man's burial. We managed to
find the spot, and at the old ehaplnln's
request we exhumed the body. Some
of us suggested to him that he give us
the Identification marks and retire out
of range of the shells which were
bursting nil around us. We argued
that It was unwise for him to remain
In danger, but what we really Intended
was that be should be saved the horror
of seeing the pitiful thing which our
spades were about to uncover.
"I shall remain," was all he said.
"He was my boy."
It proved that we had. found the
right body. One of our men tried to
clear the features with his, handker
chief, but ended by spreading the
handkerchief over the face. The old
chaplain stood beside the body and

removed his trench helmet,bnrlng his
gray head to a drizzle of rain that was
falling. Then while we stood by silent
ly his voice rose amid the noise of
bursting shells, repeating the hurlul
service of the Church of Englnnd. I
have never been so impressed by any
thing In my life as by that scene.'
The dead man was a young captain.

UR high command apparently
meant to make a sure thing of
the general assault upon the Re-
gina trench. In which we were to par
ticipate. Three times the order to "go
over the top" was countermanded. The
assault was first planned for Oct. 19.
Then the dute was changed to tbe 20th.
Finally, nt 12:10 noon of Oct. 21, we
went. It was the first general assault
we had taken part In, and we were In
a highly nervous state. I'll admit
thot.
It seemed almost certain death to
start over In broad daylight, yet, as
It turned out, the crossing of No Man's
Land was accomplished rather more
easily than In our night Taids. Our
battalion was on the extreme right of
the line, and that added materially to
our difficulties, first by compelling ns
to advance through mud so deep thnt
some of our men sunk to their, hips In
It and, second, by giving us the hottest
little spot In France to hold later.
I was in charge of the second
"wave," or assault line. This Is called
the, "mopping up" wave, because the
business of the men composing It Is
thoroughly .to bomb out a position
crossed by the first wave, to capture
or kill all of the enemy remaining and
to put the trench In a condition to be
defended against a counterattack by
reversing the fire steps and throwing
up puropets.
Our artillery had given ihe Germans
such a battering and the curtain fire
which our guns dropped Just thirty to
forty yards ahead of us was so pow
erful that we lost comparatively few
men going over" only those who were
knocked down by shells which the Ger
mans landed among us through our
barrage. They never caught us with
their machine gun sweeping until we
neared their trenches. Then a good
many of our men begun to drop, but
we were In their front trench before
they could, cnt us up anywhere near
comnletely. Going over I was struck
1 by shell fragments on the hand and
leg, out the wounds were not severe
enough to stop me. In fact, I did not
know that I had been wounded until

I felt blood running Into my shoe.
Then I discovered, the cut In my leg,
but saw that It was quite shallow and
that no artery of importance bad been
damaged. So I went on.
I hod the familiar feeling of nervous
ness and physical shrinking and -nausea
at the beginning of this fight, but by
the time we were halfway across No
Man's Land I had my nerve back.
After I had been hit I remember feel
ing relieved that I hadn't been hurt
enough to keep me from going on with
the men. I'm not trying to make my
self out a hero. I'm Just trying to tell
you how on ordinary man's mind
works under the stress of fighting and
the danger of sudden death. There
are some queer things In the psychol
ogy of battle. For Instance, when we
had got Into the German trench and
were holding it against tho most
vigorous counterattacks the thought
which was persistently uppermost In
my mind was that I had Inst the ad
dress of a girl In London along with
some pupers which I had thrown away
Just before we started over and which
I should certainly never be able to find
again.
Hold Regina Trench at Last
The Regina trench had been taken
and lost three times alar the British.
We took it that day and held It We
went Into action with 1,500 men of all
ranks and came out with 600.
I have said that because we were on
the extreme right of the line we had
the hottest little spot In France to
hold for awhile. You see, we had to
institute a double defensive, as we
had the Germans on our front and on
our flank, tbe whole length of the
trench to the right of us being still
held by the Germans. There we had
to form a "block," massing our bomb
ers behind a barricade which was only
fifteen yards from the barricade be
hind which the Germans were fighting.
Our flank and the German flank were
in contact as fiery as that of two live
wire ends. And meanwhile tbe Frltzes
tried to rush us on our front with nine
separate counterattacks. .Only one of
them got up close to us, and we went
out and stopped that with the bayonet.
Behind our block barricade there was
the nearest approach to. an actual fight
ing hell that I bad seen.
And yet a man who was In the midst
of It from beginning to end came out
without a scratch. He was a tall chap
named Hunter. For twenty-four hours,
without Interruption, he threw German
"eggshell" bombs from a position at
the center of our barricade. He never
stopped except to light a clgnrette or
yell for some one to bring him more
bombs from Fritz's captured store
house. He projected a regular curtain
of fire of his own. .I've no doubt the
Germans reported ho was a couple of
platoons, working In alternate reliefs.
He was awarded the D. C. M. for his i r:
services In that fight, and, though, as ! 5
I said, he was unwounded, half the j 5
meat around him were killed, and his ' E
nerves finished In such condition that ' S
he had tobe sent back to England. S
