md n made me feel gOOu all OVe1 "
apoin see the "Stars and Stripes"
Al that time 1 wondered when the
hovs in the trenches would see the
o,nhlem of the ''land Of the free and
tho home Of the brave" beside them'
doing it's bit in this great war of civil
lizatiOn.
NV wounds were very painful, and
soverol times at night l would dream
+h,t mvriads of khaki-clothed figures
would pass my bed and each would
sion. bend over me, and whisper, '"The
best of luck, mate"
Soaked with perspiration I would
awake with cry, and the night nurse
would come over and hold my hand.
This awakening got to be habit with
me until that particular nurse was
transferred to another ward.
In three weeks time, owing to the
careful treatment received, was able
to sit up and get my bearings. Our
ward contained seventy.five patients,
90 per cent of which were surgical
cases. At the head of each bed hung
temperature chart and diagnosis
sheet. Across this sheet would be
written &c. s. W." or IS. w." the for.
mer meaning gun shot wound and the
latter shell wound. The IS. W." pre-.
dominated. especially among the Royal
Field artillery and Royal engineers.
About forty different regiments were
represented, and many arguments en-.
sued as to the respective fighting abil.
fty of each regiment. The rivalry was
wonderful. A Jock arguing with an
Irishman, then a strong Cockney &C.
cent would butt in in favor of a Lon.
don regiment. Before long a Welsh.
man, followed by a member of q York.
shire regiment, and, perhaps, a Cana.
dian intrude themselves and the argu.
ment wakes loud and furious. The
patients in the beds start bowling for
them to settle their dispute outside
and the ward is in an uprOar. The
head sister comes along and with a
wave Of the hand completely rOuts the
warriors and again silence
reigns supreme.
Wednesday and Sunday of each week
were visiting days and were looked
forward to by the men, because they
meant parcels containing fruit, sweets
Or fags. When patient had a regular
visitor, he was generally kept well
supplied with these delicacies. Great
jealousy is shown among the men as
TO their visitors and many word wars
ensue after the visitors leave.
When q man is sent to a GONZALES.
cent home, he generally turns over his
steady visitor to, the man in the next
bed.
Most visitors have autograph albums
md bore Tommy to death by asking
him to write the particulars of his
in same. Several TOmmies
try to duck this unpleasant job by tell
ing the visitors that they cannot write,
but this never phases the owner of the
album he or she, generally she, offers
to write It for them and Tommy Is
stung into telling his experiences.
The questions asked Tommy by wis.,
tors would make a clever joke book
TO a military man.
Some kindly looking old lady will
stop at your bed and in sympathetic
voice address you: "YOu poor boy,
wounded by those terrible Germans.
You must be suffering frightful pain.
A bullet, did you say7 Well, tell me,
have always wanted to know, did 1t
hurt worse going in or coming QUIT"

that shell would hit US and end our
misery. Personally, was not particu-
lar. 1t was nothing but bump, jolt, rat
tie, and bang.
Several times the driver would turn
around and give US "Cheero, mates,
We'll soon be there" fine fellows,
those ambulance drivers, lot of them
60 West, too.
We gradually drew out of the fre
zone and pulled up in front Of an i'm
mense dugout.. Stretcher-bearers car
ried me down a number of steps and
placed me on a white table in bright
ly lighted room.
A sergeant of the Royal Army Med
ical corps removed my bandages and
cut off my tunic. Then the doctor,
with his sleeves rolled up, took charge.
He winked at me and winked back,
and then he asked. "How do you feel,
smashed up bit?"
answered: I'm all right, but I'd
give a quid for a drink of Bass"
He nodded to the sergeant, who dis
appeared, and I'll be darned If he
didn't return with glass of ale. I
could only open my mouth about a
quarter of an inch, but got away with
every drop of that ale. 1t tasted just
like Blighty, and that is heaven to
Tommy.
The doctor said something to an or
derly, the only word could catch was
"chloroform," then they put some kind
of an arrangement over my nose and
mouth and it was me for dreamland.
When l opened my eyes was lying
on stretcher, in a low wooden
building. Everywhere I looked l saw
rows of Tommies on stretchers, some
dead to the world, and the rest with
fags in their mouths.
The main topic of their conversation
was Blighty. Nearly all had grin on
their faces, except those who didn't
have enough face left to grin with. /
