Forty-five men were sleeping in the
clubhouse when a monster snowslide
without the slightest warning struck
the building, trapping the men and
carrying them down the mountain,
thrown from their beds and battered
against the walls of the tumbling
building.
The compressor and the supply

The clubhouse was two-story
building, about 3Ox6O feet, and when
rescuing crews arrived only small
part of one corner was visible.
News of the tragedy was at once
communicated to HALEY, and every
available man was rushed to the as

The bodies of the fifteen dead were
also recovered here.
The slide carried the bunkhouse off

owing to the casualties in the New

given by the army corps that regi-

So far as could see, there was no
very laudable intention of carrying out
that order.
Count Day as NIGHT.
THE New Zealanders salved their
consciences by counting day as night.
In this way they got one long night
of "a hours. In other words thew
went right through, night and day;
many instances of bravery and untir-

might be given.
There were men who day and
night went out under shell and ma
chine gun fire, time and again, and at
great risk of their own lives saved the
lives of many wounded who otherwise
would have died or been killed. Some
of them worked continuously collect
ing wounded under fire for 20 hours
at a stretch. But there is no need
to multiply instances. Our stretcher
bearers earned undying fame in Gal
