The Big Blunder and What It Cost.

The Big Blunder and What It Cost.
One of the great tragedies of the war
resulted from a bit of ~carelessness
when a couple of days later the effort
was made to extend our grip beyond
the spot which we took In that first
fight. Plans had been made for the
Forty-fourth battalion Of the Tenth
| Canadian brigade to take by assault
the trench section extending to the
right from the point where we had es-
! tablished the "block" on our flank. The
hour for the attack had been fixed.
Then headquarters sent out a counter
i handing order. Something wasn't
| quite ready.
The orders were sent by runners, as
| all confidential orders must be. Tele-
phones are of no avail any more, as
both our people and the Germans have
an apparatus which needs only to be
attached to a metal spike in the ground
to "pick up" every telephone message
within a radius of three miles. When
telephones are used for anything i'm
portant messages are sem In code.
But for any vitally important commu-
nication which might cost serious
losses, If misunderstood, old style run
ners are used. just as they were in the
days when the field telephone was I'M
heard Of. 1t is the rule to dispatch two
or three runners by different routes SO
that one at least will be certain to ar
rive. In the case of the countermand-
ing of the order for the Fourty-fourth
battalion to assault the German posi-
ton on our flank some officer at head
quarters thought that one messenger
to the lieutenant colonel commanding
the F~orty-fourth would be sufficient
The messenger was killed by a chance
shot, and his message was undelivered.
The Forty-fourth, in ignorance of the
change of plan, went over There
was no barrage fire to protect them,
and their valiant effort was simply a
wholesale suicide. Six hundred out Of
800 men were on the ground in two
and a half minutes. The battalion was
simply wiped out. Several officers
were court martialed as a result of
this terrible blunder.
We had gone into the German
trenches at a little after noon on Sat
urday. On Sunday night at about 10
o'clock we were relieved. The relief
force had to come In overland, and

they had a good many casualties en-
route. They found us as comfortable
as bugs in a rug except for the infer
nal and continuous bombing at our
flank barricade. The Germans had
concluded that it was useless to try to
drive us out. About o~ne-fourth Of the
500 of us who were still On their feet
were holding the sentry posts, and the
remainder of the 600 were having
banquets In the German dugouts. which
were stocked up like delicatessen shops
with sausages, fine canned foods, cham
payne and beer. If we had only had
a few ladies with US we could have
had a real party.

forgot about my wound until some one
reminded me that orders required me
to hunt up a dressing station and get
an anti-tetanus injection. The Tom

l picked out twenty-five men, twelve

They agreed to my plan, which was
to get within twenty-five yards of the
gun e~mplacement before attacking, to
place no dependence on rifle fire, but
to bomb them out and take the posi-
ton with the bayonet. We followed
that plan and took the emplacement
quicker than we had expected to DO,
but there were only two of US left
when we got there-Private Godsall,

Of the twenty-five were dead or down.

a highly nervous state. I'll admit
that.
1t seemed almost certain death to
start over in broad daylight, yet, as
it turned out, the crossing of No Mans
Land was accomplished rather more
easily than In our night raids. Our
battalion was on the extreme right of
the line. and that added materially to
our difficulties, first by compelling us
to advance through mud so deep that
some of our men sank to their hips in
it and, second, by giving US the hottest
little spot in France to hold later.
I was in charge of the second
s'wave," or assault line. This is called
the "mopping up" wave, because the
business of the men composing 1t is
thoroughly to bomb out a position
crossed by the first wave, to capture
or kill all of the enemy remaining and
to put the trench in a condition to be
defended against a counterattack by
reversing the fire steps and throwing
up p~arapets.
Our artillery had given the Germans
such a battering and the curtain fire
which our guns dropped just thirty to
forty yards ahead Of us was so pow
erful that we lost comparatively few
men going over-only those who were
knocked down by shells which the Ger
mans landed among US through our
barrage. They never caught us with
their machine gun sweeping until we
neared their trenches. Then a good
many of our men began to drop, but
we we're in their front trench before
they could cut us up anywhere near
completely. Going over l was struck
by shell fragments on the hand and
leg, but the wounds were not severe
enough to stop me. In fact, | did not
know that l had been wounded until

Then | discovered the cut in my leg.
but saw that it was quite shallow and
that no artery of Importance had been
damaged. So l went on.
1 had the familiar feeling of nervous
ness and physical shrinking and nause
at the beginning of this fight, but by
the time we were halfway across No
Mans Land I had my nerve back.

After l had been hit I remember feel
ing relieved that 1 hadn't been hurt
enough to keep me from going on with
the men. I'm not trying to make my
self out a hero. I'm just trying to tell
you how an ordinary mans mind
works under the stress of fighting and
the danger of sudden death. There
are some queer things In the psycholo-
gy of battle. For instance, when we
had got into the German trench and
were holding it against the most
vigorous counterattacks the thought
which was persistently uppermost In
my mind was that 1 had lost the ad-
dress of a girl In London along with
some papers which l had thrown away
just before we started over and which
I should certainly never be able to find
again.
