about two hours, when suddenly, hell
seemed to break loose in the form OF
machine gun and rifle fire.
We dropped on our bellies, bullets
knocking up the ground and swapping
in the air. Then the shrapnel butted
in. Believe me, jim, the music was
hot and Tommy danced.
Word was passed down the line to

Painting and out of breath, we tum.

When the roll was called we found
we had SO casualties.
Upon cessation of fire, stretcher
bearers went out to look for killed and
wounded. Next day we learned 81 OF
our men had been killed and 81
wounded. Five were missing. They
must have got lost and wandered into
German lines.

The party moved out in columns oil

Tho marching was slow. Upon ar

Yes, Jim. every Tommy wears 9
wrist watch, and you can't exactly

Before entering these trenches
word was passed down the line: INC
talking or smoking; lead of in single
file, covering party first
This covering party consisted of 60
men, armed with rifles, bayonets
bombs and two Lewis machine guns
They were to guard against a surprise
attack while we were digging in Nc
Mans Land, the space between the
German and the British lines.
We wer eto dig an advanced trench
200 yards from the Germans; the
trenches at this point were 600 yards
apart.
Winding lanes, five feet wide, had
been cut through our barbed wire, for
the passage of the diggers. From
these lanes white tape had been laid
on the ground to the point where we
were to commence work, so We would
not get lost in the darkness. The
proposed trench also was laid out
with tape.
The covering party went out first
After short wait, two scouts came
back with the information that the
working party was to follow.
In extended order, two yards apart,
we crept across No Mans Land. II
was nervous work, expecting every
minute for a machine gun to open fire
on us. Stray bullets cracked" around
us.
Arriving at the tapped diagram Of
the trench, rifles slung around our
shoulders, we got to work, digging
quietly as possible, but every now and
then the noise of a pick and shovel
striking a stone would seen cold shiv.
ers down our backs.
At intervals star shell would go
up from the German lines and we
would fall fiat and motionless until
the glare died out.

were discovered and fired on.
