Three times he was wounded and
five times he went through the hor-
rors of being gassed "over there" He
has been doing his duty at the British

charge in 1917. He still carries piece
of shrapnel in his skull received at
the battle OF Ypres, when for five days
he lay in a shell hole, without food or
drink, until a hospital dog rescued
him.
Jones was in the fighting at Albert
when that city was attacked and the
cathedral destroyed.
That was where the Germans gave
bombs 20 the children, bombs painted
like toys and set to explode in a few
minutes" said Jones, The poor
kids, they never had a chance. Yea
