Capt Burt, who has been stationed
at Fort Mott, has recently been assign
ed to duty near Newport
stall addressed the Brigade today, and
their admiration for the Canadians is
unbounded Central Andersen said the
Canadians saved the day, and | know
they did. II we had given way the
whole right flank would have had to
give way. and only the Lord knows
where it would have ended. But we
didn't give way, and we never will. Ii
never can be much hotter than it was
this time.
5 To go back again: We retired about
two miles back, and came into action
again, and fired from a. m. one morn
ing until a. m. the next, and from IL
noon same day until p. m. We had
scme shells drop pretty close, and We
had two guns hit plum on the nose,
and another time we had the timber
wagon smashed into kindling wood
and thrown over the gun. Fortunate
ly there was no one at the gun at the
time, as Capt Stewart had relieved
the gunners of that detachment to go
and find something to eat There were
quite 9. number of close shaves for US
all, but "a miss is as good as mile,
and we are in pretty good condition
yet.
The following GananoGue boys have
been wounded, am sorry to say: Karl
Green and Joe Lachapelle, both painful
wounds; Gunner Jack Thompson Q
have not yet been able to find out how
badly wounded he is, but / don't be-
lieye it is serious), and Driver s. Wat
son, who was very seriously wounded.
] also had i've kingston boys and sew
no idea how splendidly the boys have
behaved. They are certainly splen-
did lot, and I can't pick out any one
in particular; they are all crackerjacks
and think the world of them ALL.
Nothing faxed them. They carried
en- their work as If they were in the
moulding shop of the Spring & Axle,
or the polishing room of the Jones
company--coo as a piece of ice and
all kept their heads and wits as true
soldiers and you can believe me that
there were "a hours per day for about
Is days that any one who was ecoor
was eorker.
The Journal cigarettes and tobacco
are really godsend Honestly, we
couldn't get along without tobacco;
and the issue is very small--one pack
age per man per week. The boys
could smoke that amount in day
when in action. We will fight those |
Huns as long as there is any fight left |
in us, but send more Canadians, lots
more of the same roughnecks as the
1st Canadian contingent are supposed
to be! Parades and inspection may
not be our strcng point, but when I
there is fighting, real fighting. to be
done, give me, and let me be with,
the Canadians.
l only had one gun left when the
battle was over and no clothes. Our
billet was burned and all clothes, bat
terry records, and most of the officers
kits, went up in smoke. But We get
along just the same and we go into ac-
ion again tomorrow; but have no
worry now. know what my. boys will
10 under the most trying conditions
Ind that knowledge just makes the diff
'erence between uncertainty and ac-
.ual knowledge gained by experience.
The hours are very early in the
morning in the soldering game, so
% bed for me-.
