Lieut.. w. E. Crombie Says
Only 40 of His Battalion's
900 Survived Charge.

One OF the heroes Of the famous
charge OF the British limo at the
battle of Loos, that cost the English
such fearful toll in life came home
on the Anchor Line Cameronia to-
day. wounded and sick as the re-
suit OF his year in trenches.
lie went away as Private william
L. Crombio OF the Second Battalion
OF the Canadian Field Artillery. He
came back a first lieutenant. broken
and disfgurcd. Over half Of the
comrades who sailed with him lay
on the field of Loos as the result of
q single charge. Nine hundred and
sixty OF his battalion climbed out Of
the trenches on that morning In Oc-
tober Of last year and only a hun
dred and forty ever answered an
other roll call.
ION one side OF US were the crack
Coldstream Guards and on the other
the Middlesex Regiment. We knew
what was coming and were eager to
start" said Lieut.. Cromble to-day.
THE word was passed along to
our commander, Col. Walton. and he
ordered the bugler to sound the ad-
vance. The youngster jumped to the
top Of the trench with his bugle to
his lips, but he never uttered a sound
A bullet killed him on the spot. A
second later the Colonel was on his
feet but he had to rush along the
line and shout for us TO start.
The other commands had the lead
OF us. but We beat them 10 the Ger
man lines. The carnage was awful.
One OF the things that I remember
most wildly was the sight OF u
Scottish bagpiper running ahead OF
his regiment In the midst OF the hail
OF bullets, playing his pipes
The lieutenant said there were very
many Americans in the Canadian
regiments. In one command, where
there were 10000 recruits from Can
ada, $500 OF them were found 10 be
