BRITISH OFFICER
SHOWS GREAT
BRAVERY
TRIES TO SET OFF DYNAMITE
CHARGE IN A BRIDGE WITH
tiIs REVOLVER

London, Nov. 6.-Many narrow es.
capes and deeds OF wonderful bravery
have been made by the injured British
AID Belgian soldiers now recovering
in English hospitals. A young lance
corporal Of the King ) Royal Rifles.
who is recovering from bullet wound
in his knee owes his life to crucifix
which he licked up in an empty house
where he YVES billeted. A strange in
Pulse compelled him to pick up the
crpcifix and put it in his haversack.
During IN engagement few days
later many Of the corporals comrades
were killed by bullets which we're al
most spent The young corporal was
hit in the knee and later found when
taken to hospital that one Of the
spent bullets had also passed com
pletely through his knapsack, but had
been defIected from his body by the
crucifix, one of the arms of which aad
been broken off by the bullet.
Private w. Hinton of the First East
Lancers poses as the luckiest man in
the army lie was hit by three bul-
lets within a minute without serious
injury. One bullet flattened five
rounds of ammunition in his belt. An
otner smashed the magazine of his
rifle and a third passed through his
car.
A letter from one of the royal en-
gineers describes the remarkable
pluck of Lieutenant R. Pottinger Of
Tedmouth. Pottinger and his section
were attempting to blow up bridge
under fire. They laid the charge and
the section retired Lieutenant Pot
finger and sapper remained behind
to light the fuse. The charge did not
explode The sapper then fired ten
rounds Of ammunition at the charge
without success. Pottinger then said,
"J'll make the thing go off" He
shook hands with the sapper and
walked to the bridge. There he put
the muzzle of his revolver into the
charge and fired all six cartridges
Even then the charge did not go off
and the men had to flee, leaving the
bridge intact If the charge had gone
off the young lieutenant would have
disappeared completely, but the ap-
preaching Germans would have been
robbed of an easy entry into the al
l'es' territory.
One of the officers of the Inflated
Cressy which was sunk by the Ger
man submarines was severely injur-
ed on the head, had both his legs
broken and his feet crushed as he was
thrown into the air by the explosion.
His body was sucked under the
water by the sinking cruiser, but was
picked UP by one of the rescue ships.
Twenty-four hours afterwards the
injured officer regained conscious
ness and his first words were: Arc
we down-hearted? MOI
A sergeant of the line was made ad-
jutant for his cooIness and bravery
in one Of the engagements in Lor-
raine With three men the sergeant
was sent across an open field to at
tract the fire of the Germans so the
colonel could tell where the enemys
trenches were and what their prob
ably strength was. A hail of bullets
was directed at the four men. They
made their way to small farm house

ROMANCE NOT LOST

London, Nov 6.-Horrible as the ex
Ipefiences -or the refugees from Lou
vain, Malines, Antwerp and Ostend
have been, romance has not been en-
t.lely lost in the wave Of agony and
sorrow which the war has brought to
English shores. Dulwich was the
scene of a wedding two days after the
fall of Ostend which joined the for
tunes of two luckless wanderers who
fled for weeks before the oncoming
Germans.
When Brussels was about to be taG-
Ell the bride became separated from
her father and mother just on the
eve of her marriage. The entrance
of the Germans upset all wedding
plans, but the young girl found her
fience a few days later among refu.
gees at Malines. They drifted with
friends into Antwerp and finally found
tieir way to England Not being able
to communicate with her parents, the
young woman decided to marry even
If her relatives could not attend the
wedding. The mayor and mayoress
of Camberwell honored the young cou-
pie with their presence at the wedding
and the wedding guests were other
refugees who had shared the hard
