Right behind our rest billet was a

twenty feet across, and 1t was a habit
of the company to avail themselves Of
an opportunity to take a swim and at
the same time thoroughly wash them

were a luxury. The Tommies would

but If necessary he would allow us our
gas helmets while digging. He would
stay and see the thing through, but he
had to report back to brigade head

we were captains and also had a date

Next day the general changed the

The odor from the dug-up. decom-
posed human body has an effect which
is hard to describe. It first produces
a nauseating feeling. which, especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily, but soon a
weakening sensation follows. which
leaves you limp as a dishrag. Your
spirits are at their lowest ebb and you
feel a sort Of hOpelessness and a mad
desire to escape it all. to get to the
open fields and the perfume of the flow
ers in eighty. There is a sharp,
prickling sensation in the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through a radiator In the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmOunted by a
vague horror of the awfulnsss of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection
that, perhaps 1. sooner or later. would
be In such a state and be brought to
light by the blow of a pick In the hands
of some Tommy on a digging party.
Several times I have experienced this
Odor, but never could get used to 1t /:
the e%nervating sensation waS always
present. 1t made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization. and all the spice
and glory Of the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths OF pure. fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be up and at them"
