"Pete Walling." a CHEEKY sort of fel-

way on the march, buoying up my
dropping spirits. could not figure out
anything attractive In again occupying
the front line, but Pete did not seem to
mind. said II was all in n lifetime. Ny
left heel was hlistered from the rub
bing of my heavy marching boot. Pete
noticed that I was limping and offered
to carry my rifle. but by this time had
learned the ethics Of the march In the
British army and courteously refused
his offer.
We had gotten halfway through the
communication trench. Pete In my i'm

shoulder. as men In n communication

each other. We had just climbed over

In our rear man trlpped over a loose
signal wire, and let out an oath. As
usual, Pete rushed to his help. To
reach the fallen man he had to cross

in the air and ducked. Then a moan
from the rear. My heart stood still.

ground. By the aid OF my fiashlight
saw that he had his hand pressed to
his right breast. The fingers were COW
cred with blood. l flashed the light
on his face and in its glow a grayish-
blue color was stealing over his coun-
tenance. Pete looked up at me and
said: well, Yank, they've done me In.
] can feel myself going West" His
voice was getting fainter and had to
kneel down to get his words Then he
gave me n message to write home to
his mother and his sweetheart. and I.
like n great big boob, cried like baby.
I was losing my first friend of the
trenches.
Word was passed to the rear for
stretcher. He died before II arrived.
Two of us put the body on the
stretcher and carried 1t to the nearest
first-aid post. where the doctor took

tity disk. this to be used in the cas-

I was In my first dugout and looked
around curiously. Over the door of
