J ing up Is not Just suitable term
We were crawling about ON all tours
just far enough out in No Mans Land
to be under the edge of the German
shell fire and taking what shelter we
could In shell holes while our leaders
picked the way TO start across. The
extra heavy bombardment had warned
the Germans that something was about
to happen. They sent up star shells
and IS o s" signals until there was
glare over the torn earth like that
which you see at the grand finish of a
Pains fireworks display, and mean
while they sprayed No Mans Land
with streams of machine gun fire. In
the face Of that we started.
1t would be absurd to say that We
were not frightened. Thinking men
could not help but be afraid. If we
were pallid, which undoubtedly we
were, the black upon our faces hid IL,
but our fear struck voices were not
disguised. They trembled and our
teeth chartered.
We sneaked out single file, making
our way from shell hole to shell hole
nearly all the time on all tours, crawl
ing quickly over the fat places between
this small shelter. The Germans had
not sighted us, but they were squirting
machine gun bullets all over the place
