town our retreat was splendidly COW
cred by cavalry and horse artillery.
Cavalry i'm Gallant Charge.
A division of cavalry rode for
ward to check the enemy and behind
them the guns bound like things of
life. 1t looked like a fOrlOrn hope
Their officers shook hands, feeling
they were going to a certain death,
vet they said not a word and never
faltered a moment. l would have
given worlds TO have been in the
glorious charge they made.
while the cavalry and guns gal
loped out to face fearful odds we con-
tinued our retreat to Maliencourt,
southeast of Lecateau, shells bursting
all the way 500 yards on our right,
and thence to BeaureVoir, north OF
St. Quentin. 1t was an awful march
for we were terribly exhausted. Men
dozed while they walked and officers
slept in the saddle.
1--WE left Beaurevoir at four IN the
morning. 4 few hours sleep worked
wonders, for though their feet were
bleeding and they were still without

vOured fancy biscuits and sausages,
while men who had been in India

Here we began TO recover and
realize that we had done a wonderful
thing. We had marched over 100
miles in four days and fought three
actions to say nothing Of SklrmlSheS

kaiser had been shot and that AUS
