, keep his hands UP. The thing was
ludicrous in the midst of bursting shells
and houses burning. and no moving

lots of funny things. Now l remember
them.
After we had established ourselves
beyond the village and things were
pretty well cleaned up. l saw a
Canadian and German prisoner who
had been fighting fiercely minute be-

theme. when the war would be over.
1t ended by the German declaring that
it would be over when the allies ad-

THE German insisted that his friends
would come back and take CourceIette,

When the Canadians saw something
move under a pile of earth in a bat
tered German trench they had occu-

who had been killed by shell burst,
and one slightly wounded in the arm
They bound up the wound and dug him
out as far as the hips. and then told
him This is our busy day; see If you
can't do the rest for yourself That
German not alone dug himself out, but
kept on digging all night helping the
Canadians make new trench. He
certainly was some digger" said the
man who told the story when morn
ing came we sent him hack. and he
arrived at the rear all right"
With a surprisingly small number of
men, the battalion which occupied the
line in front of the village held off
seven German counter attacks the first
night. The officer commanding had had
his runners killed. and he was going
from one place to another to try to
keep back his men. a shell buried him,
but he dug himself out and went on
organizing between attacks. He was
actually holding. for the time being, he
estimated, a thousand yards of front
with $50 men. Between attacks one
brought down the gunner of a machine
gun who had been bothering him. re-
turned, dragging machine gun.
There are more out there, and I'm

One boy of nineteen delivered dug
out of forty Germans and marched them

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, September q, via London,
September 30, 4:45 a.m.-Some of the
best stories of the battle are told only
after some battalions which have been
in a big attack are out of the line.
Them after they have slept. they recall
vivid incidents in the midst of charges
and the struggle for positions. They
live over again their sleepless nights
and days when they faced death in
their grapple with the foe. Stories
iaughable and ridiculous are mixed
with the tragic.
Today the correspondent has been
visiting the Canadian battalions after
their storming of Courcelette. These
men, their eyes blinking after sleeping
the clock round, had taken more than
their own number of prisoners in the
swift rush through the village. The
Germans thought the attack was over.
They did not anticipate the second
charge, which came just before dusk.
They were in their deep dugouts TAX
ing cover from sudden burst of shell
fire when, as the shell fire lifted, the
Canadians were at their doors. The
battalion which took the eastern end
of the village had got up only just
in time to deploy for the attack before
the minute set for it and then rushed
across the open under the German
curtains of she'll fire, and the officers
could not give detailed instructions to
their men before they went forward.
They had to trust to the intelligence
and initiative of the men to adapt
themselves to a general plan.
Turning corners and lodging in and
out the men cleared the streets of Ger
mans and saw that the dugouts We're
guarded Given another half hour and
the Germans would have organized
their defense. AS it was, they were
heIplessly confined in their cellars.
