L. Boston, of the Canadian army, is vis iting his mother, Mrs. K. M. Cook, for a few days at the Capital hotel. It was in the summer of 1916 that Mr. Boston enlisted in the Canadian army at San Francisco and was sent to Victoria. Within a few months he was in the trenches in France as a Lewis machine gun man. Now a machine gun nian rather lines up ag a member of the suicide club as he is reaaly. in advance of the infan try in all aotion and in every kind of fighting on the front line. The gun used by the Canadians weighs about 28- pounds and can be shot from the hip or from anyt support, besides the ever ready, tripod. . ; It was at the famous Vimy Ridge that Mr. Boston planted the American flag on the breastworks of a Gormiw trench. While passing through London, an American woman presented him with a small, silk American flag.' Ho kept it until one night in a raid across the German trenches at Vimy Ridgo, he stuck the U. S. flag in sight on Khe trench after the raiding party had been ordtred back- to their lincB. This was about five months before the United States went into the war, but even then the eight of the U. S. flag so peeved the Germans that the British trench opposite where the flag was placed was severely bombed. Mr. Boston said that when the Ca nadians went out on a bombing and raiding expedition at night, that they blacked their faces, crept through the German wires, and at the sound of a whistle given by thoir officer in command, jumped into tho German trench, giving them tho bayonot. At the sound of the whistle, the raiders would then beat it for their own tren'ches and it was in one of these raids that he left the American Hag that the Germans tore down and it was five months before we entered the war. It was at Vimy Ridge in the capture of a German pill box thatMr. Boston got the first real touch of war. A his party were getting close , to a German pill box, a German officer shot him in the knee while at the game time a Ger man private lunged at him- with a bay onet. Mr. Boston dodged: the bayonet, shot the private through, the heart while his pal put the finishing touchos on the Gorman officer, first, smashing him on the' head with a rifle and then to make sure of the job, applying the bayonet. They got the pill box. As a real instrument of war, Mr. Bos ton says the hand bomb does the busi ness. It is maue oi iron anu xue of an extra largo lemon and aoout the shane. It is filled with an explosive much more nowtrful that dynamite. In throwing the 'bomb at a safe distance of 35 to 40 vards. Mr. Boston says, the safety pin i first removed and the fingers placed en a lcverf which is re leased an the bomb leaves the hand. In four and a half seconds it explodes and if there is eood luck, ten or a doz en Germans get what is coming to them. That is, the bomb is good for thnt, manw who happen -to be in the npiclibnrhood as it explodes. After, being in tho service on the front and at the great battles of Vimy Ridoe, Mr. Boston got in a mix up with a German"1" whiz-bane" that put him out of business. With his Lewi gun company he was cleaning up a German trench when one of tho big shells exploded directly over his com pany. Now a German "whizz-bang" contains about 200 small bullotB and they scatter pretty well when it ex plodes. Just as tho German trench had been cleaned up, the shell came along and killed every one of Mr. Boston's ma chine gun company. One ahot struck him over the left eye, another on the left cheek, half a dozen on the loft side and on the arm. After the first shock, he attempted to walk back to his lines but got no further than a shell hole when he dropped unconscious. The next thing he knew was when he awoke rn a French hospital and was told that one of the bullets had gone entirely through hi head and .was ready to be taken out at the base of the neck. The one tnat entered left cheek bone wandered around in his head until it appeared on the left side of his neck. These were removed by the English surgeon who told the nurgen that 'Boston would last about four hours as there wasn't any chance for a man who had let two pieces of a "whizz-bang" wander all around in his head and then come to the surface to be removed. Notwithstanding all these conditions Mr. Boston time-tad not eome and after spending 17 months in the French and English hospitals he was sent home to rest at the Canadian hospital at Vic toria, B. C. He 'is now on a 14 days leave of absence from the hospital. He says the only time a soldier gets nervous is when waiting for the zero hour, the hour when they are to be ordered over the top. After once in the fight ,the tcnsion'is such that one only thinks of fighting.' The Prussian and Bavarian troops he found good fight ers but they lost their courage when the Canadian troops camee on with the bayonet. Then the Gorman would throw up their hands and yell "Kamer ad'1' but for those who fought from the German pill box, there wasn 't any "Kamerad," the Canadians just went forward ami finished the" job with the bayonet. A live German was tricky but the dead ones were not.
