SCHARSCHNIIDT HOME
 FROM THE FRONT

Captain II. B. Scharschmidt, mem tioned in the Vancouver Province re gently as having returned wounded and gassed from the front, is the eldest .son, of Dr. P. 2. scha1schmidt and spent much of his early life in Whitehorse. The article says:
 An interesting description of his experience while at the front with the 7th battalion (ftrst B. c. regi- ment), 1st c. E. F., was given by Capt. II. B. scharschmidt, of the 9th Duke of Connaughts Own Rifles. at the officers mess of his regiment last evening, there being present in addition to the officers of his own corps, a mum Der cE other prominent military leaders. He detailed the move meuts of the 7th and the other Can adian forces, and told of the life in the trenches, and the manner in which modern warfare is carried on. Capt. Scharschmidt returned to Van couver last. Sunday after being wounded and badly gassed
 The veteran officers account was iuterspersed with accounts of incl dents Of the lighter side of the grim business of war. He told how on one occasion a British and Ger man patrol on outpost duty in front of their respective trenches tumbled into each other in the pitchy black ness of the night. Each side knew that machine guns and hundreds ot rifles were held in immediate readt- ness for action and would Le fired as soon as any disturbance was heard, and so by mutual consent the scouts parted company and con- tinued their rec0nnaisance in oppO- site directions. Capt. Scharchmidt's description brought home to his auditors the trying nature of ser vice in the field in these days of high explosive shells, aeroplanes, machine guns, deadly gases, and the other numerous means adopted by the interruptions Huns to inflict losses on their foes. His talk was instructive as well as entertain ing. as a number of the officers present are going overseas with the new forces being formed
