We knew 1t was a German by the black
leather boot. One Of our crew used
that foot to hang extra bandoliers Of
ammunition on. This man always was
a handy s.ellow; made use of little
points that the ordinary person would
overlook.
The Germans made three counter.
attacks, which we repulsed, but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
quieter, but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived, ate and slept in that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t was awful to watch their faces be-
come swollen and discolored. Towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out of the dirt. It
seemed to me, at hight, in the moon
light, to be trying to twist around.
Several times this impression was SO
strong that went to 1t and grasped it
In both hands, to see If could feel
movement.
/ told this to the man who had used
1t for hatrack just before lay down
for little nap, as things were quiet,
and I needed a rest pretty badly.
When I woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut it off with our chain saw
out Of the spare parts box. and had
plastered the stump over with mud.
During the next two or three days,
before we were relieved, missed that
foot dreadfully; seemed as If had
suddenly lost chum.
think the worst thing of all was to
watch the rats, at night, and some
times in the day, run over and play
about among the dead.
Near our gun, right across the para.
pet, could be seen the body of a Ger.
man lieutenant, the head and arms of
which were hanging into our trench.
The man who had cut off the foot used
to sit and carry on One-Sided CONVEX
sation with this officer, used to argue
and point out why Germany was in the
wrong. During all of this monologue
I never heard him say anything out of
the way-anything that would have
hurt the officers feelings had he been
alive. He was square all right ;
wouldn't even take advantage of d
dead man in an argument.
To civilians this must seem dread
full, but out here one gets so used to
awful sights that it makes no impress
sion. In passing butcher shop yoa
are not shocked by seeing dead tur-
key hanging from hook. Well, in
France. dead body is looked upon
from the same angle.
But, nevertheless, when our six days
were up, we were tickled to death to
be relieved.
Our machine gun company lost
seventeen killed and thirty-one wound
ed in that little local affair Of
Strengthening the line," while the
other companies clicked it worse than
we did.
After the attack we went into re-
serve billets for six days, and on the
seventh once again we were in rest bill
lets.
