Men show Bravery.


Stories of individual rushes out into
storms of lead in order to carry import
ant messages are frequent. Here Is one
OF them, told by a wounded corporal of
the Gloucester Regiment now in London
Hospital: Orders had to be given to a
battalion holding an advanced position to
fall back. The only way was to send a
man with orders through a murderous
FIRE. Volunteers were asked from the
Royal Irish Fusiliers, and the job fell to
a lad who didn't look as II there was
much in him. Ducking his head in a way
that made US laugh, he rushed into the
hail of shot and she'll He cleared the
first 100 yards without being hit, but in
the second they brought him down He
rose again and struggled on for a few
minutes was hit once more. and then
staggered bit before finally collapsing.
Two more men dashed into the fire
and rushed across while the Germans
were doing their best to pink them. One
picked up the wounded man and started
back to the trenchesVUith him, while the
other took the dispatch and ran ahead
with It. Just as the wounded man and
his mate were within a few yards Of our
trenches and We were cheering them
there came another hail of bullets. and
both went down dead. Meanwhile the
man with the dispatch was racing for all
he was worth. He got through all right
until In the last lap he was brought down
like a feIled OK. He was seen from the
other trenches, and half a dozen men
rushed out to his aid. They were all shot
down, but he was now crawling toward
the trenches with the message. With
assistance he reached them, and the
battalion In danger was withdrawn to a
new position before the Germans sue
