grenadfers used to be. They are de-
ployed in skirmlsh formation. which
means that every man Is three yards
from the next. They we're armed only
with grenades, but, you can take Il
from me, that Is enough Behind them
come two lines, also In skirmish for
nation, and armed with machine guns
and grenade rifles. The first men on
the left carry machine guns, then come
three rifle grenadiers, and then anoth-
er machine gun and so on down the
length Of the line. After these come
two lines Of rinemen with fixed bay
onets.
Then come the trench cleaners. or
moppers-up, as we call them. They
were some gang. believe me. Imagine
a team Of rugby players spread out in
two llnes-only with hundreds of men
on the team instead Of eleven, and
each man a husky, capable OF han
ding baby grand plano single
handed. These fellows were armed
with everything you could think Of,
and a whole lot more that you could
not dream about in nightmare. II
used to remind me Of q trial l saw
In New York once. where the police
had raided a yeggmen's flop and had
all their weapons in the courtroom as
exhibits.
The moppers-up were heeled with
sticks. clubs, shillelahs, ck-jacks,
two-handed cleavers, axes, trench
knives, poniards. up-to-date tOma-
hawks, brass knuckles, slung shots
anything that was ever invented for
crashing a man with, guess. except
firearms. These knock-down, drag-out
artists follow the rihemen very closely.
Their Job was TO take care Of all the
Turks who could not escape and would
not surrender.
There are lots of men In any army
who will not surrender, but think
probably there were more Turks of
that gameness than men in most other
armies. | have heard that IT is a part
Of their religion that a man, II he
dies fighting. goes to very specially

smoke. And I suppose II he surren-
ders they believe he will be put in

Dardanelles and | guess the Turks
did not want IL any hotter, for very
few of them ever surrendered. and the
trench cleaners had lot TO do. Their
job is really important, for II is danger
