A letter written by an officer in the
English army in France, has been re-
ceived by Topeka girl. He describes |
a little incident that he calls fun y
He admits it sounds rather blood /
thirsty but offers the old reason that
war is war" He says:
Being keen to spend a day in the |
trenches and see a bit of fun 1 got |
the general to let me go down and |
do was to alarm the Germans and /
make them man their trenches, as, |
unless things are humming, they |
usually have only a few snipers in |
our whistles, shouted, Wake up. there: |
fix bayonets. We showed d line of /
bayonets over the trenches, put some /
caps on sticks and walked up and |
down with them, showing just above /
the parapet. Having got the Huns to i
fill their trenches, we telephoned to /
the guns to fire on certain points of |
the line. having carefully ranged them /
yesterday. The effect was tremen- /
6ous- One she'll dropped into the |
coming up, and must have done a lot !
of damage, while at another place we /
saw bodies and legs and arms /
into the air. This started them
boiling down a communicating trench, /
which was just what we wanted them /
to do, as we had another lot of guns /
waiting for them. and knowing the |
shelters they We're making for, we
turned a third lot of gunners onto |
them. I rather think our friends had
4 bad morning,
trench comes in, with the |
result that about ten yards of the L
trench was exposed to our view. We
haG great sport all day sniping Huns 1
shot at one fellow, but L don't think
got him.
Later in the day when we We're
bored with sniping. we w-nt down to
