hiked all night, only stopping to rest
a couple of times, and the further we
went the deeper the mud got. We halt
ed at daylight for about an hour and
then went on until we came to the
side of hill where we rolled in our
blankets and slept all day and night.
In the morning we ate hard tack and
salmon and packed up again, this
time Only to move up closer as we
were in reserve, and there we stayed
a couple of days. Our kitchen then
sent up hot meals and we had a nice
place to wait in. We were within she'll
fire but the boche could not locate us
for the shells went away over us or
to the right and left.
Our good times didn't last long and
one night we moved right up into the
j lines and had the good luck to get
through shell fire without losing a
man. That same morning the order
was given for an attack at daybreak.
Our artillery opened barage and we
moved up under that and sure had
hard going as the boche opened up
all his guns, artillery and machine gum.
But we got to our objective and that
was enough We dug ourselves in and
stayed there for four days and five
nights and then were relieved by an
| other of our machine gun companies.
While in The front lines we were con-
stantly under fire. I was runner for
my platoon and had some of the
| closest calls 1 have ever had. I had
to go along road through town to
get to headquarters and the shells
were bursting all along it. There was
one boche machine gun that fired on
that road at times and many a time
I had to lie in the ditch until he let up.
The last night we were there I was
crossing a field and heard a shell COM
! ing so 1 fell on the ground. It hit
about ten feet away from me and a
piece struck me in the lip, but it only
bruised it, thank God. It must have
been mustard gas shell for it burned
