After standing Mt attention for
what seemed a week, though in reality
tt could not have been over five min.
atea. we heard q low whispering IN our
rear and footsteps on the stone flag
4gius Of the courtyard.
Our officer r%eappeared and in q low,
aaut arm voice. ordered:
"Ah0ut--Turn !"
We turned about. In the gray light
Of dawn, a few yards in front of me, I
could make out d brick wall. Against
this wall was a dark form with a white
square pinned on Its breast. We were
supposed to aim at this square. To the
right of the form rnoticed q white spot
raD the wall. This would be my target.
Ready Aimi Firew
The dark form sank into a huddled
heap- My bullet sped on Its way, and
hit the whitish spot on the wall; l
couid see the spiinters fy. Some one
else had received the rife containing
the blank cartridge. but my mind was
at ease, there vas no blood Of a
Tommy on my hands.

The stacks were reformed.

And we left the scene Of execution be.

Il was aow daylight. After march.
ting about Ave minutes, we were dis.
missed with the following instructions
erom the officer In command:
Return, alone, to your respective
'eoz,yauies, and remember, no talking
about this affair, or else It will 80 hard

We needed no urging to get away, I
did not recognize any Of the men on

The day after the execution I re.
eeived orders to report back to the
Ans. and to keep a still tongue In my
head
n1scutions are a part OF the days
~srk, but the part we hated most of

British war department is thought BY
many people to be composed Of rigid
regulations al wound around with red
tape. But It has a heart, and ono of
ne evidences Of this Is the c~onslderate
way n which an execution is concealed
and reported to the relative Of the un.
Fortunate man. They never know the
