fire from a. m. till p. m. and had
two Of the narrowest escapes ever in
my life. We had slept in a barn over
night and the morning following we
had to get a quick move on. The
officers took US to a large wood close
by and the Germans sheIled us out
had about so men with me. ALL of
a sudden I heard shell coming and
I told the men to lay fat. ] myself,
lay behind a large tree. The shell
burst over our heads and one of the
bullets struck the tree about 2 inches
from my right ear. I looked around
and four Of my men were hit. One
has since died. Well, we made an
other move to the fore end Of the
wood to try to get out of the range
of the German guns and about $50
another shell burst right behind me,
but thank God 1t did no damage. At
500 D. m. that night we had orders to
relieve the regiment in the trenches.
We stayed there for two days and two
nights. The trenches are in an aw-
full condition, the water up to our
