bring up high explosive. shells, One
of the Canadian gunners tells how
they were brought:
THE ammunition wagon contain
ing them came galloping across the
open field under heavy fire, the
men flashing their horses and yelling
like mad. The horses were simply
crazed. Some of them had been hit
with bullets and when they neared
our guns the men couldn't stop them.
1t looked as though they would go
right on to the German lines. There
was only one thing to do; The rider
of the leading horses drew his revol-
yer and quickly shot them
dead They went down, with the 9TH
er horses and men and the wagon
rolling over them. With the high
explosive shells we tore the trees to
bits and left the whole place open;
then our infantry, quickly following
up the advantage drove the Teutons

The Fighting Team.
When the three fighting arms and
the nine staff corps are all brought
