ALMOST AN ENTIRE
BATTALION KILLED
German Fire Moved Men
Down Before Canadians
Could Retreat.

TORONTO, Ont. June 24-The
first western Ontaria battalion was
all but annihilated in the section near
La Bassee in northern France on
June Is last, says semi-OffiCial aC-
count received here today Out of
between six hundred and seven hun.
dred men the battalion lost in killed
and wounded nearly five hundred, In
cluding twenty officers.
Twelve Of the officers were killed
in this action, according to the ac-
count, leaving only three officers of
the battalion unwOunded.
The first western Ontario battalion,
the account says was selected to act
in cooperation with the British
troops in attacking a German posi-
tion. Three trenches were their OBJ
jective They came from the rear,
having had a rest preparatory to the
onslaught which took place in the
evening. The Germans apparently
had an idea that serious attack was
to be attempted and as events proved
had made elaborate preparations for
resistance.
The first two trenches were taken
at heavy cost, says a member of the
battalion, and continues:
I'VE then went for the large trench
but the Germans with relnforcements
concentrated a tremendous volume
Of fire upon us ! should think by
this time considerably more than halt
our officers and men had been killed
or wounded.
"Gradually the position became
untenable and 1t was necessary to re.
linquish the ground already won. We
could not with our depleted force re-
main there, so we moved back.
The Germans then tried hard tC
shift us from our original position
but to no purpose.
"The battalion went into that ac.
tion from GOO to 700 strong. The
killed and wounded numbered nearly
five hundred including twenty out OF
twenty-three officers, twelve of whom
were killed"
