The acts of heroism were innum-

his experiences in battle. II remem-
Der a case where three soldiers were
sent with a very important message to
the division commander, in the hope
that one Of them would get through.
They had to cross an open space
whore they were exposed to heavy
fire. and progress was impeded by
barbed wire entanglements charged
with electricity. They had to cut their
way through this with insulated wire
cutters. Two of them were shot dead.
The third found himself nearly
through when his arm. which had
been shot badly, caught in the en-
tanglement and he could not get it
out. Thereupon the soldier drew his
bayonet and finished the work the
enemy's fire had begun, amputating
his arm himself. He got clear and de-

horse and knocked down. While I
lay I saw second Cossack reach
down to finish me. He got me in the
hip. but as he struck me fired my

and the riderless horse gallop on.
