But we did not mind the bullets so
much. They make clean wound or
put you away entirely; shrapnel
tears you up and can play all kinds
Of tricks with various parts Of your
body without killing you. As for
shells-well, mincemeat is the word.
The Narrows were thick with mines
and there had been a great deal of
damage done there, so after a while
the British detailed their Yarmouth
trawlers to go in and sweep up. They
had to go up unprotected, of course,
and they started Off one night all
serene.
Everything went well until they
turned at the Narrows and started
back. Then, before you could tell It.
five or six searchlights were playing
on one Of the trawlers and shells
were splashing the water all over her
Both banks were simply banging away
point blank at them and 1 never
thought they would get back.
They did get back, though, but
some Of them had hardly enough mer
left to work ship. But that is like
the Limeys. They will get back from
anywhere while there is one mar
alive.

Is pretty dirty too: would not like
TO have to do,it. They say there were
lots OF French society ladies working
as nurses. but you never heard much
about society. or any talk about Lord
Helpus. or Count Whosis, or pink teas
or anything like that from these
nurses.
A few shells landed near our hos
pital, while was there, but no patient
was hit. They knocked a shrine Of Our
Lady to splinters. though, and bowled
over big cruciflx. The kitchen was
near by, and 1t was Just the chefs luck
that he had walked over to our ward
to see pal Of his, when q shell landed
plumb In the center of the kitchen,
md all you could see all over the bar
racks was stew.
Ihat was regular eatless day for
US, until they rigged up bogles and got
some more dixies, and mixed up some
cornmeal for us. The chef made up
for 1t the next day, though. The chef
was great little guy. He was q
"blesse' himself, and I guess his stom-
ach sympathized with ours.
There was Frenchman in the bed
next to me who had the whole side of
his face torn Off. He told me he had
been next to bomber, who had Just
lit fuse and did not think it was
burning fast enough, so he blew on IT.
1t burned fast enough after that, and
there he was.
There was Belgian in one Of the

,cribe the house they had lived in, SO
hat 1 might tell him whether 1t was

4trocities. Some of the things he told
ne had heard before, and some of
hem heard Of afterward. Here are
some things that he either saw or
heard Of from victims:
He said that when the Germans en-.
tered the town of st. Quentin, they
started firing into the windows as they
passed along. First, after they had oc.
