and four more from B Company.
About sixty yards from Fritz's
trench an old ditch-must have been
the bed of creek. but at that time was
dry-ran parallel with the German
barbed wire. Lining the edge of this
ditch was a scrubby sort of hedge
which made a fine hiding place for

this screen was a mystery to us.

under our barbed wire leading out to
a listening post in no mans land. We
each had three bombs. Newall carried a
revolver-one of those yankee colts
and his cane. Blime me, believe that
officer slept with that cane. He never
went without it. The rest of US were
armed with bombs and rifles, bayonets
fixed. We had previously blackened our
bayonets so they would not shine in the

noiseless way, given orders for them
to close in on me, and await instruc-
tons.
Lieutenant Newall's voice in a very
low whisper, came to US:
Boys, the men in our trenches have
received orders not to fire on account
of our accommodating patrol being out
in front. A strong German raiding
party has just circled our left and is
making for our trench. It's up to us
to send word back. We can't all go,
because we might make too much noise
and warn the German party. so it's up
to one of US to carry the news back to
the trench that the raiding party is on
its way With this information it will
be quite easy for our boys to wipe
them out. But it's up to the rest of US
to stick out here. and if we go west
we have done our duty in a noble
cause. Corp. French you had better
