almost knocking us down with the

handed over. When we were in, we
divided a few choice curses between
the Germans and the Sergeant, with
the latter a red-hot favOrite.
And the worst of the whole thing
was that an officer saw the whole
thing, and it was the end of our shor
cuts to the dug-Outs. Lucky again,
this officer is one of the finest men
in the Gordon Hielanders, and we
were not up for disobedience. When
we got to the dug-outs We got a
good one from our Sergeant. He had
been shooting rabbits along the side
of the canal, when he should have
been killing Germans. Was sitting
behind a bush waiting for a rabbit

supper to come He got spotted by
a German sniper and fired on, the
bullet cutting his rifle sling in two,
passing through the case in which he
carried his binoculars, and from
there it went through the sleeve of
his coat AT the time, he was look
ing through the glass and had his
rifle across his knees. | don't I'M
agine the rabbit bothered him very
much after that close call.
Now, if that isn't a succession of
tight squeeks I'm no judge Of small
matters, but up to date We snipers
have had very slight losses.
Since the Section was organized in
June, we have had only two killed
and probably no more than six 9th
ers wounded, out of from - to -
men. Can't give figures, but my age
would be the maximum figure While
the age of Methusila would be the
minimum See, | feel older than the
gentleman in question although l still
retain my beauty-so far.
The weather here is getting cold.
We are preparing for a winters cam
paign and from all indications those
who live through it are going to have
the time of their lives.
A war of hate it truly is, and, al
though | have no particular animOs-
ity toward my German friends in
Gods Country, | can have no love
for those opposed to us. No more
conjunction is displayed on either
side than can be imagined. I am the
same as the rest and will kill Ger
man just as calmly as l would a rat.
Am not eXaggerating at all. l am
stating facts, but no figures. If facts
are interesting, you are welcome to
them I am doing my best-small
as my share may be-tO avenge the
frightful atrocities to be seen on eV-
cry hand, perpetrated by the KAISER
Krupp and Gott."
But going from the ridiculous to
the sublime: Speaking of alarm
clocks. We had one in our trench
up at Kem--, very handy little
ticker to remind the sentry when
his time was up.
1t was hanging on a peg driven
into the "paradeau" of a trench or
the wall of the trench farthest from
the Germans. Get me?
1t seems that a shell blew away
just enough of the parapet to en-
able the German snipers to see our
alarm clock This was not noticed
by our blokes until a bullet
snapped" over the parapet and
smashed the clock, also setting off
the alarm, much to the amusement of
the boys and undoubtedly also the
Germans about so yards distant.
I got one out of the paper the 9th
er day about a 4th Gordon (Terri-
torial) who did a very brave act, en-
fitting him to a D. C. M. if not a
V. G.
In the darkness a bomb from a
trench mortar fell in the soft dirt
and failed to explode at once. The
Internal machine ticking away threw
most of the "Terriers" into a panic,
for no one knew when it would ex-
plode But a brave wee Laddie frae
Glasgie seized the thing and hurled
| it over the parapet where a rifle
grenade exploded Immediately. Every
one was congratulating the ''hero,'
until some one wanted to know what
time it might be-" and it was dis
covered that the alarm clock was ly-
| ing out under fire, somewhere in
Belgium"
So far, so good Give my regards
| to friend and foe, Bell, and look for
some souvenirs which l hope may
reach you, shortly.
