1t was outside of PradeIles that we
ran into the Germans and had n long

and we didn't know how strong they
were, sc we were not pressing them
very hard until some re-enforcements
came up. | think they were in the
same position. for they didn't try to get
to close quarters. So we kept at it all
afternoon until at night the Germans
retired, and we camped a little farther
on and waited for our main body to
come up. Our casualties numbered only
Bbout twenty dead. and we buried them
in the churehyard before we left.

During an %aeroplane raid last fall I
had a chance to watch some of the
nurses. We had about thirty German
aeroplanes over our encampment drop
ping bombs. AS they went back to
their W lines they flew over a hos
pital located in an open field. There
were huge red crosses painted on the
top of every tent, sc it would seem
that any mistake as to the nature Of
the camp would be impossible. Never
theless as the taubes passed over they
dropped several bombs In the hospital
and killed quite a number of the poor
chaps who were already wounded. The
nurses worked as hard as they could
trying to quiet the rest of the men,
