Norwich bulletin., 1918-11-14

hardships and trials of trench warfare for six months steady, and then being deprived of the honor of going through the big drive.
 Not getting into that drive sure was big disappointment I will tell you how 1 got hurt. l had a Very-light pistol under my cartridge belt and it was loaded for q barrage signal I had the pistol at half cock and while . stopping over in the trench the trig- | ger got caught on something and went | off
 This cartridge had five stars, and I | guess every one of them hit me in the leg. My clothing caught fire and | if it had not been for some comrades near by l don't think I would be here | now.
 From a dressing station where was 1 taken I finally arrived at mobile hospital. There I was operated upon 1 and when I came to I was lying in bed 1 in the ward.
 i The ether did not make me sick at all. I came out Of it just like coming 1 out of a natural sleep. After being in that hospital two days, was sent to a base hospital, stayed there about a | month, and was then sent down where 1 am now. I got pretty badly burned up, Bert. It is now three months since got hurt and I am still confined to my bed. I have had the best of care and treatment. The people at home need not worry about our wounded, for the nurses and doctors are doing everything they can to make them comfortable.
 However, my burn is nearly healed now and I expect to be up and around before long. When fellow gets wounded he leaves everything he owns behind. Excepting what is in his pockets, everything is left on the field.
 l I had a good shaving set and also some notebooks which wanted to keep. But when a fellow gets wound ed he doesn't think for the time being of such things. You remember Adelard Barbeau? He was among the missing in that fight we figured in last April. We'll, had a diary of his which was trying to keep so if I got back to the states alive I could give it to his folks. , But it went with my other possessions.
 That April fight was a hot affair After the battle, while looking around among the dead bodies. one of the fel- lows in my company found Barbeau's diary. On looking through it they saw my name, so they gave it to me. (Pri- l vate Barbeau was not killed but wounded and taken prisoner and is now in Germany) I had been taking good care of the diary and wanted very much to keep it.
 Well, Bert, we have got Fritz on the run, and we are going to keep hin running until he gets to Berlin, anG we will be right back of him ever then. Of course we are having bea I T pretty we'll camouflaged, but there i: not man here that is not glad he k taking part in this war.
