Sergeant Wells humorously and
graphically describes life In the
trenches, and Incidents in connection
with the battle of St. Jullen, where
he lost his left arm and had the mis
fortune to be taken prisoner. He
was In the Hght at Ypres, and out of
bis platoon of 150 men which took

said probably men would think an
experience of that nature would sick
en any man of war. Such, however,
waa not the case. On the rontarry,
tha thought that so many "pals" had
been killed by the Germans made a
man all the more determined to re
turn to the firing line and endeavor
to "get the men that got bis chums."
There was a little strange fascination
about the battlefields. There troops
were like a big family, or n large fra
ternity, and one loved to be with
them. They were all brothers. He
urges his hearers to try and get,the
spirit of that, as It was tho secret of
the whole thing.
