 (By Sergt. A. G. Jorgenson, Jr., 29th
 Vancouver Battalions, C. E. F.)
 We had been in the trenches two
 months when volunteers for a bomb ing raid were called for. They picked
 twenty three men out of our grenade sections and took us back of the lines.
 From the photograph of the German
 front line supplied by our aeroplane
 men we built a section of trench
 which was it's exact duplicate, and we
 practiced on it for about three weeks.
 Then the night came for the attack.
 All was quiet. Four of our men
 went out and lay underneath the Ger
 mans barbed wife five hours, cutting and opening to let us through. We
 blackened our faces, our badges\ and buttons, took off our identification
 discs and regimental numbers so if
 we were taken prisoners the Germans
 could get little information regarding
 our division or regiment.
 At a. m. we left our trench-the
 23 of us. We split into two sections
 of ten men each with two officers and
 two signalers. Captain Gwynn, an
 Englishman, was in charge of our
 party; Lieut.. Wilmot in charge of the other We crossed No Mans Land As we approa ched the entrance of the German bay we were to enter a sentry, hearing our approach, put up his head. Captain Gwynn shot him and we tumbled into the trench un- m olested, our party of ten proceeding to the left and the other ten to the right. We got the Huns asleep, all but a few sentries. The captain was just ahead of me, a very cool headed Englishman, who never forgot to carry his cane. Proceeding he poked the flap of several dugouts with his cane. and turning to me would say "Jorgenson, just put a bomb in theah."

AS soon as we reached 1 the traverse we found Number One 1 on the gun, sitting there on sand bags | with a paper across his knee. l shot 1 him with a revolver, while the cap l tain put a bomb under the machine gun.

Reaching 9 com- ! munication trench we came upon 8 l German under officer, whom we cap- 1 tured and marched back in front of /, us to the bay, where our signaler was 1 lying waiting for us
