The thing was gallantly done, and
ne may all we'll be proud Of this

The filth and stencil were such as to

Of 100 yards lay over forty dead

Men themselves were only buried six
inches beneath the soil. No regard had
oeen paid to sanitary arrangements
at all. They drank the water within
a few feet of O petrifying carcass.
Wounded men lay about uncared for,
their wounds undressed, left to look
after themselves. In most cases gan"
creme had set In. Slight scratches
which with ordinary care would have
sntailed two days rest only, had de-
yeloped, into huge liberated cancerous
sores. Our doctors, who took charge
Of over two hundred such cases, de-
clare that nine-tenths must die. Com

which the Beers had for the past ten

clare that had 1t not been for the

they would have held out for some

say that one prisoner told me that
