One day during our visit was TAX.

child, Captain John Lauder, of the
Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders
as fine a lad rs ever wore a kilt, and
~ good and brave son as ever a
father loved. A we were motoring
swiftly along we turned into the
Town Of Albert and the first sharp
glance at the Cathedral showed the
falling Madonna and child. It is q
startling and arresting sight. and we
got out to have good look, The
building is crowned by a statue of
Mary holding out the child Jesus to
the world; a German shell had struck
its base and it fell over. not to the
ground. however, but at an acute
angle over the street.
While We fingered q bunch of SOL
diers came marching through, dusty
and tired. Lauder asked the officer
to halt his men for a rest and he
would sing to them. I could see that
they were loath to believe it was the
real Lauder until he began to sing.
Then the doubts vanished and they
abandoned themselves to the full en-
joyment Of this very unexpected
pleasure. When the song began the
audience would number about 200;
at the finish Of it easily more than g.
600 soldiers chered him on his way.
1t was a strange send-off on the
way that led to grave-the grave
of fathers fondest hopes-but so
1t was. A little way up. the Ba-
paume road the car stopped and we
clambered the embankment and away
over the shell-torn field of Courcelette.
Here and there we passed a little
cross which marked the grave of
some unknown hero; all that was
written was "A British Soldier"
He spoke in a low voice Of the
hope-hungry hearts behind all those
at home. Now we climed a little
ridge and here a cemetery and in
the first row facing the battlefield the
cross on LADDERS boys resting place.
The father leaned over the grave
to read what was written there. He

grave and clutched it the while his
body shook with the grief he felt.
