CHAPTER x.
aThe DAYS Work.

I was fast learning that there Is a
regular routine about the work of the
trenches, although it is badly upset at
times by the Germans.
The real work in the fire trench
commences at shutdown. Tommy Is
like a burglar, he works at night.
Just as IT begins to get dark the
word "stand to-" is passed from trav-
erse to traverse, and the men get busy.
The first relief, consisting of two men
to a traverse, noun the fire step, one
man looking over the top, while the
other sits at his feet, ready to carry
messages or to inform the platoon off,
Ger of any report made by the sentry
as to his observations in No Mans
Land. The sentry Is not allowed to
relax his watch for a second. II he Is
questioned from the trench or asked
his orders, he replies without turning
around or taking his eyes from the ex-
panse of dirt in front Of him. The re-
mainder of the occupants of his trav-
erse either sit on the fire step, with
bayonets fixed, ready for any emer
gency, or If lucky, and a dugout hap
pens to be in the near vicinity of the
traverse, and If the night Is quiet, they
are permitted to go TO same and try
and snatch a few winks of sleep. Little
sleeping is done; generally the men sit
around, smoking flags and seeing who
can tell the biggest lie. Some Of them,
perhaps with their feet in water, would
write home sympathizing with the
governor" because he was laid up
with a cold, contracted by getting his
feet wet on his way to work In Wool
witch arsenal. If a man should manage
to doze off, likely as not he would wake
with a start as the clammy, cold feet
of a rat passed over his face, or the
next relief stepped on his stomach
while stumbling on their way to relieve
the sentries in the trench.
