A nother regim ent has th e nicknam e

to m ake a ch arg e through a cherry or

Crossing th e channel, we lauded at
O s'end a t 4 o’clock J*i th e m orning on
the eighth day o f October, 1014. We
hail had nothing but bnllybeef and
hard biscuits ail the way over, so the
first place we sought when off duty
w as a restau ran t.
I bad chum m ed up w ith a fellow
nam ed H arry M cG arrow and also with
the heavyw eight. The la tte r w as un
old soldier and had served more th an
tw euty years In the arm y. Nine years

of his service had been done in I n d ia ,
so he kuew the ropes pretty well.
As soon as w e w ere off d u ty we three

were ju st p u ttin g aw ay some bread
and eggs and coffee when the general
com m anding th e division w alked iu
with tw o of his officers.- Of course
we Jum ped to atten tio n and were about
to w ithdraw , but he told us to finish
our meal.
We w ere the only B ritish troops to
land at O stend, and, being th e first the
Belgians iu th a t p a rt hud ever seen,
we a ttra c te d a great deal of attention.
O ur horses and equipm ent seem ed to

and handle the saddlery and ask, "ofii-

It w as Just a trooper's equipm ent and

We left O stend about i> o'clock iu a

fact, we left a t t) and the G erm ans
were iu th ere ut ti the suiue night, but
we didn't know this until long after-
w ard. T he Belgians Were m ost kind
to us. They would bring us bread,
eggs, wine, e tc ., und would not tuke
any pay for the things. They were
kindness itself and couldn't seeui to
do enough fo r us.
We did m ost o f our traveling at
night, and it w asn 't much fuu. We
w ere not allowed to show a light of
any kind and w ere even forbidden to
smoke. As l said before, we h adn't
