A CANON CITY MAN
IN THE TRENCHES

]. S. c. Wells. who at one time liv-
ed at 420 Greenwood avenue. and
still owns a fruit ranch here. is at
present a captain of artillery in the
Canadian Overseas contingent, now
fighting with the British army in the
trenches of France. Mr.. Wells. who
is q New Yorker by birth. spent sew.
eral years in Canon City and was in
tertsted in horticulture. He was an
attendant o. Christ Episcopal church
while here and will be remembered
By many OF the members of that con.
tIeratIon.
Mr.. Wells left here couple of
years or SC ago for the east. Shortly
afterwards he went to Toronto where
he obtained a commission as captain
o. erpineers in the provincial army
of Canada. then being raised for ser.
vice in Europe. The regiment to
which Mr.. Wells was attached was
one of the first to be sent from the
Dominion to England. After remain.
ing for some time at. Aldershot 1t was
ordered to the front to help resist TIE
German onslaughts along the from.
tiei in Flanders. There was not
enough activity and excitement in
the engineering corps to suit Mr..
Wells and he appealed to the milit 4ry
authorities for transfer to the al.tii.
ierJ tranch of the army. which was
grarted. Since then he had had all
x.nds of excitement and seems to en-.
joy it. In the course of a business
letter received here a few days ago
by Messrs Hodgin G. Sharman from
Captain Wells, bearing date of Jan.
uary Is. 1917. and written from
somewhere in France" he says:
Life in the trenches is no picnic
Before we left the Somme the mud
was knee deep and have seen some
Of the trenches waist deep in water.
Such a scene Of desolation as that OF
the Pozieres and Courcellette battle
fields is impossible to describe. ]
doubt II one could find anywhere q
space twenty feet square that did not
contain a shell hole; some OF them
fifteen or twenty feet in diameter and
from ten to fifteen feet deep. l saw
one fifteen-inch shell land that made
crater thirty feet in diameter and
fifteen feet deep. You ought to have
seen the dirt fly. 1t seemed like a
small volcano. Just wait until next
spring and see what we will do to
the Huns"
