CANADIANS EXHIBIT
MUCH COURAGE At LENS

Canadian Headquarters in France,
Sept. 1S.-Awards still being made for
heroic conduct indicate that Canadian
courage never reached n higher point
than in the battle of Lens. Case aft
cr case is to be found in records in
which Canadians performed feats of
valor, often facing death in order that
their comrades might be saved.
A non commissioned officer of a
British Columbia battalion led a Sec
ton which had the difficult task of
'mopping up" cellars. craters and ma
chine gun emplacement. In one cellar
he bayoneted three Germans and at
tackled single handed seven others in
a crater, killing all of them.
On reaching his objective, ma
chine gun was found holding up his
right flank, causing many casualties.
The officer rushed forward, entered the
emplacement. killed the crew and
brought the gun back to our lines. To-
day he again attacked single handed
another machine gun emplacement,
killed three of the crew and destroyed
the gun and empla cement with a high
explosive charge. He killed at least 1s
Germans and Carried on" until
wounded.
Another hero, member of Sas-
katchewan battalion. when his bomb
ing party was compelled by a superior
force 70 retire, having exhausted their
supply OF bombs. covered the with
draWal of his comrades by mounting
the parapet of trench and bringing
such rapid and accurate rifle fire TO
bear upon the Germans that they wore
held back until the withdrawal was
completed.
Another Canadian, after three unsuc-
cessfui attacks had been made against
heavily wired machine gun emplace-
ment and a strong point, organized a
fourth attack. The wire was penetrated
by him personally. He bayonetted three
Of the defenders and killed fourth with
the butt Of his rifle. The machine gun
was silenced and the position captured.
But for his daring. says the official rec
ed. This man is also from British CO.
lrmhia
Sergeant Flavelle Of Manitoba, when
his platoon was held up in the enemy wire
by a machine gun. rushed forward alone.
shot the gunner and disposed of the rest
of the crew before the gun could again
be put in action
Private Henry Carl Hansen Of Manito-
Ia, stretcher bearer, several times in
daylight made trips into No Mans Land
carrying water to the wounded men who
could not be brought in until darkness,
and no doubt saved the lives of many.

The attitude of the governor and MT. Pendergrass has been to serve the interests of the state, and both are glad to aid the people in any the adequacy of the coal supply"
