I slipped my bayonet into Turk and more glad when I saw another one coming 1 guess I saw red all right. Each time I thought, Maybe you are the one who did poor old Murray" And I could see Murray as he looked when they took him down from the storehouse wall. Then I would stick another one.
 The others from the Cassard were red-hot, too. and they went at the Turks in great style. There was nothing to complain about in the way they fought, but I wished that we had had a few more boys from the Foreign Legion with us. think we would have gone clear on through to Constanti- nople.
 But the Turks were not as bad as Fritz. They were just as good or bet ter as fighters, and whole lot winter. Often, when we were frying in the trenches and not a drop of water was to be had. something would land on the ground near us and there would be a water bottle, full. Sometimes they almost bombarded us with bottles. Then, too, they would not fire on the Red Cross, as the Germans do; they would hold their fire many times when we were out picking up our wounded. Several times they dragged our wound ed as close as they could to the barbed wire that we might find them easier.
 After Murray died got to thinking lot more than I used to, and though I did not have any hunch exactly, still felt as though I might get 1t, too, which was something I had never thought much about before. 1 used to think about my grandmother, too when I had time, and about Brown. used to wonder what Brown was doing and wish we were together. But I could remember my grandmother smiling. and that helped some. guess was lonely, to tell the truth. I did not know the other garbies very well, and the only one left that I was really very friendly with got his soon afterward. though not as bad as Mur- ray. And then there was no one that was really chummy with. That would not have bothered me at all before Murray died.
 The other lad spoke of as having been chummy with was Philippe Pierre. He was about eighteen and came from Bordeaux. He was very cheerful fellow and he and Murray and used to be together lot. He felt almost as bad about Murray as did, and you could see that it changed him great deal, too But he was still cheerful most of the time.

sheir JoD was to take care of all the Turks who could not escape and would not surrender.
 There are lots of men in any army who will not surrender, but I think probably there were more Turks of that gameness than men in most other armies. 1 have heard that iu is a part of their religion that man, if he dies fighting. goes to very specially fancy heaven. with plenty to eat and smoke. And I suppose if he surren- ders they believe he will be put in the black gang. stoking for eternity down below. It was awfully hot at the Dardanelles and I guess the Turks did not want it any hotter, for very few of them ever surrendered, and the trench cleaners had a lot to do. Their job is really important, for it is danger ous to have groups of the enemy alive and kicking around in their trenches after you have passed. Almost every prisoner we took was wounded.
 The one thing do not like to have kill man?" and I think the other boys feel the same way about it. It is not thing you like to talk about or think about either. But this time, at .'V" beach, when we got past the first and second Turk trenches and were at work on the third. I do not mind saying that was glad whenever

storehouse. There was bayonet through each arm, one through each foot and one through his stomach. One of the garbies fainted when he had to pull one of the bayonets out. They had hacked off his right hand at the wrist and taken his identifica- ton disc. I lay this to the German officers more than the Turks.
 I do not know just what I did after this. But 1t changed me all around and I was not like my usual self dur ing the rest of the time.
 It was still raining when we started on our way to the front line. Along the road were numbers of troops scoffing and among them Indian troops on sentry duty. They looked like a bunch of frozen turnips, cool and un- comfortable. We were close enough to make the roar of the cannonading seem intolerably loud and could see the bursting shells, particularly those from the British ships.
 Then we came across some Turkish prisoners who were sheltering in an old barn, guess it was, and we

double. We had not got very far be- fore we had a fine little surprise party handed us.
 The front line was running over what appeared to be good, solid ground, when they broke through and These trenches had been dug, covered over with A-inch boards and then with dirt, and'were regular man-traps. Sharp stakes were sticking out of the parapet and parados, and at the bot tom were more stakes and rocks and barbed wire.
 We were advancing with bayonets fixed and arms at the carry, so when the first line fell, and some of the second, the boys of the third line came running up, and in the scramble that followed many of the chaps in the first few lines were bayoneted by their comrades. 1 was in the third line, but l was lucky enough to pull up in time and did not fall in. You could not look down into that trench after you had seen it once, it was too sickening Our casualties were sent back to the ship. One boat was sunk by a shell and all the men lost.
 We remained where We were scratching out shallow trenches for ourselves, finding what n.lural cover there was and otherwise getting ready for the night, which was near. Ii began to rain and we could hardly to shelter them from the shore side. so the enemy could not spot us. and the wind was from the sea. It was certain. ly miserable that night.
 Every once in while we would stand by to repel an attack, whether it was a real one or not, and we were under fire all the time. It seemed as if morning would never come. The sand was full of fleas-great big boys and they were as bad as any cooties l had ever had at Dixmude.
 The morning came at last, and was detailed with a fatigue party to the beach where we had landed stores. When we got down to the docks I missed Murray and asked where he was. They said he had been missing from his post not more than an hour from the time we left.
 I left my fatigue party, without orders, and joined in the hunt for Murray. There were men searching all along the docks and on the shore to each side. Finally I saw a bunch of men collect around a storehouse at the farther end of the docks on the shore side. I ran up to them.
 There was poor old Murray. They were just taking him down. He had been crucified against the wall of the
