II Seemed Almost Certain Death to

1t seemed almost certain death to
start over in broad daylight, yet, as
1t turned out. the crossing of No Mans
Land was accomplished rather more
easily than in our night raids. Our
battalion WINS on the extreme right of
the line. and that added materially to

little spot in France to hold later.

"wave," or assault line. This is called
the "mopping up" wave, because the
business Of the men composing It Is
thoroughly to bomb out q position
crossed by the first wave, to capture
or kill NIL Of the enemy remaining and
to put the trench In n condition to be
defended against counterattack by
reversing the fire steps and throwing
up parapets.
Our artillery had given the Germans
such battering and the curtain fire
which our guns dropped Just thirty to
forty yards ahead of lis 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 good
many Of our men began to drop, but
we were In their front trench before
they could cut us up anywhere near
completely. Going over I 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 had been wounded until
felt blood running into my shoe.
Then discovered the cut In my leg,
but saw that 1t was quite shallow and
that no artery of importance had been
damaged. So went on.
