Heroes of Messines
Wounded Men Carried On the
Battle After Officers
Had Been Killed

Ottawa. July S.-Stories Of the hero
ism of New Zealanders at the battle
of Messines, as related by Malcolm
Ross. special correspondent with the
New Zealand forces, are recounted IN
dispatch from London received at Reu-
ter's, Ltd.
Ross tells how wounded officers and
men fought on until forcibly sent back;
how a private, single handed, charged
through the barrage to silence strong
enemy machine gun emplacement, actu-
ally accomplishing this remarkable
feat; how a chaplain, under the heavi-
est fire. continuously tended wounded
men from early morning until late az
night. and how, after all company
officers had fallen, one by one, the
ron-commissioned officers and master
full privates continued to carry on with
initiative and gallantry.
1t was thought, the dispatch says
that the high-water mark OF gallantry
for this division was reached on the
Somme, but Messines exceeded all pre-
vious standards.
