CHAPTER vi.


Our tour in the front-line trench
lasted four days, and then we were
relieved by the - brigade.
Going down the communication
trench we were in merry mood, al
though we were cold and wet, and
every bone in our bodies ached. 1t
makes a lot of difference whether you
are "going in" or ''going out"
At the end of the communication
trench, limbers were waiting on the
road for us. 1 thought we were going
to ride back to rest billets, but soon
found out that the only time an in
fantryman rides is when he is
wounded and is bound for the base or
Blighty. These limbers carried our
reserve ammunition and rations. Our
march to rest billets was thoroughly
enjoyed by me. 1t seemed as If 1
were on furlough, and was leaving be-
hind everything that was disagree
able and horrible. Every recruit feels
this way after being relieved from the
trenches.
We marched eight kilos and then
udlleu III lIOul Ol Il II IeuCu tSlduiiucl.
The captain gave the order to turn
out on each side of the road and wait
his return. Pretty soon he came back
and told B company to occupy billets
lit, 11S and 119. Billet III was an
old stable which had previously been
occupied by cows. About four feet in
front of the entrance was a huge ma
nure pile. and the odor from 1t was
anything but pleasant. Using my
fiashlight stumbled through the door.
Just before entering / observed a
white sign reading: Sitting so, lying
20" but, at the time, its significance
did not strike me. Next morning 1
asked the sergeant major what 1t
meant. He nonchalantly answered.:
"That's some of the work of the r.
A NJ. G. (Royal Army Medical CORPSE.
1t simply means that in case of an at
tack, this billet viii accommodate
fifty wounded who are able to sit up
and take notice, or twenty stretcher
cases."

chuckle from my mate brought me to
my senses, and / feebly asked, For
heavens sake, what was that?"
He answered. "Only rat taking a
promenade along the sandbags." 1
felt very sheepish.
About every twenty minutes the SEN
try in the next traverse would fire a
star shell from his flare pistol. The
'plop" would give me start of fright.
], never got used to this noise during
my service in the trenches.
l would watch the arc described by
the star shell, and then stare into No
Mans Land waiting for 1t to burst. In
it's lurid light the barbed wire and
stakes would be silhouetted against it's
light like a latticed window. Then
darkness.
Once, out in front of our wire,
heard a noise and saw dark forms
moving. My rifle was lying across the
sandbagged parapet. / reached for it,
and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered,
'Don't fire." He challenged in a low
voice. The reply came back instantly
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot; do you want us to click
it from the Boches?"
Later we learned that the word, mo
challenging or firing, wiring party out
in front" had been given to the sentry
on our right, but he had failed to pass
1t down the trench. An officer had over
heard our challenge and the reply, and
Immediately put the offending sentry
under arrest. The sentry clicked
twenty-one days on the wheel, that is
he received twenty-one days field pun
ishment No. 1, or "crucifixion," as
Tommy terms it.
This consists of being spread-eagled
on the wheel of timber two hours q
day for twenty-one days, regardless OF
the weather. During this period your
rations consist of bully beef, biscuits
and water.
, A few months later l met this sentry
and he confided to. me that since being
"crucified," he had never failed to pass
the word down the trench when so or
dered. In view of the offense, the
above punishment was very light, in
that failing to pass the word down q
trench may mean the loss of many
lives, and the spelling of some impor'
tant enterprise in No Mans Land.

smoker. He smokes under all condi-
lions, except when unconscious or
when he is accommodating in No Mans
Land at night. Then, for obvious rea-
sons, he does not care to have a light
ed cigarette In his mouth.
Stretcher bearers carry flags for
wounded Tommies. When stretcher

who has been hit the following CONVEX
sation usually takes place: Stretcher

After dismissal from parade, we re-
turned to our billets and had to get
busy Immediately with the dinner is
sue. Dinner consisted of stew made
from fresh beef, a couple of spuds,
bully beef, Maconochie rations and wa
ter-plenty of water. There is great
competition among the men to spear
with their forks the two lonely pota-
toes.
