CHAPTER xII-continued.

No one man can see all Of an attack
which may extend over miles OF
ground, but during the three weeks
was In the trenches on the Gallipoli
peninsula we made four grand attacks
and many minor ones, so I know in q
general way what they are like. Each
wave is organized like the others
First come three lines of what you
might call grenadiers, though they are
not picked for size as the old kings
grenadiers used, to be. They are de-
ployed in Skirmish formation, which
means that every man is three yards
from the next. They were armed only
with grenades, but, you can take 1t
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 rifiemen with liked bay
onets. 1870
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 lines-only with hundreds of men
on the team instead of eleven, and
each man a husky, capable Of ham
ding a baby grand piano single
handed. These fellows were armed
with everything you could think of.
and a whole lot more that you could
not dream about in a nightmare. 1t
used to remind me of a trial l saw
In New York once, where the police
had raided yeggmen's flop and had
all their weapons in the courtroom as
exhibits.
The moppers-up were heeled with
sticks, clubs, shillelahs, black 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, I guess, except
firearms. These knock-down, drag-out
artists follow the riflemen 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 VIII not surrender. but think
probably there were more Turks of

ders they believe he will be put In
the black gang, stocking for eternity
down below. 1t was awfully hot at the
Dardanelles and / guess the Turks
did not want it any hotter, for very
few of them ever surrendered, and the
trench cleaners had lot to do. Their
job is really important, for it is danger

prisoner we took was wounded.
The one thing do not like to have
people ask me is, "How does it feel to
kill MANI" and I think the other
boys feel the same way about it. It
Is not thing you like to talk about
or think about either. But this time,
at "V' beach, when we got past the
first and second Turk trenches and
were at work on the third, / do not

CHAPTER XIII.
LImeys, Anzacs and PoIlus.

One night, while we were expecting
an attack, the word was passed down
the line to have the wire cutters ready
and to use bayonets only for the first
part of the attack, for we were to try
and take the first enemy trench by
surprise. The first trench was only
about eighty yards away. Our big guns
| opened up and at zero we climbed out
and followed the curtain Of fire too
closely, 1t seemed to me.
But the barrage stopped too soon,
| as 1t does sometimes, and there were
plenty Of Turks left. We were half
way across when they saw us, and
they began banging away at us very
hard. They pounded at us as we came
on until we were given the order to
retire, almost as we were on them
what was left of us.
AS we turned and started back the
Turks rushed out to counter-attack us,
the first Of them busy with bombs.
Then I tripped over something and
rolled around q while and then saw
1t was Philippe Pierre. His left leg
was dangling, cloth and flesh and all
shot away and the leg hanging to the
rest of him by q shred. Two or three
OF our men who were on their way
back to our trenches tripped over me
as l tried to get up, and then shell
exploded near by and I thought I had
got 1t sure, but 1t was only the rocks
thrown up by the explosion.
Finally was able to stand up. So
I slung my rifle over one shoulder
and got Philippe Pierre up on the
other, with his body from the waist
up hanging over my back, so that
I could hold his wounded leg on, and
started back. There was only one or
two Of our men left between the
trenches. Our machine guns were at
it hard and the Turks were firing and
bombing at full speed.
] had not gone more than two or
three PAGES when I came across
another Of our men, wounded in sew
eral places and groaning away at a
great rate. Philippe Pierre was not
saying word, but the other chap
did enough for the two of them. One
wounded man was all could manage.

never did know him very well--that 1
would come back for him, and went
on. I almost fell several times, but
managed to get through safely and
rolled over our parapet with Philippe
Pierre. They started the lad back In
a stretcher right away. When saw
him again he gave me a little box as
a souvenir, but I have lost it.
The Turks had not got very far with
their counter-attack, because we were
able to get our barrage going in time
to check them. But they were still out
