chuckle from my mate brought me to
my senses. and l feebly asked, "For

He answered. "Only a rat taking a

felt very sheepish.
About every twenty minutes the sem

"plop" would give me q start Of fright.
l never got used to this noise during

I would watch the arc described by
the star shell, and then stare into No

Its lurid light the barbed wire and

Once, out in front Of our wire, I
heard a noise and saw dark forms

and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered,
Don't fire." He challenged in "a low

from the dark forms:
SHUT your bllnkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot; do you want us to click
it from the Boches?"
Later we learned that the word, "No

At the end Of the communication

to ride back to rest billets. but soon
found out that the only time an in

and told B company to occupy billets

ately got wise to the trench p~arlance,
and never again informed that Break

1t didn't take long for the Tommies
to answer this call. Half dressed,
they lined up with their canteens and
l dished out the tea. Each Tommy
carried in his hand q thick slice Of
bread which had been issued with the
rations the night before. Then l had
the pleasure Of seeing them dig into
the bacon with their dirty fingers. The
allowance was n slice per man. The
late ones received very small slices.
As each Tommy got his share he i'm
mediately disappeared into the billet.
Pretty soon about fifteen of them made
a rush to the cookhouse, each carrying
q huge slice Of bread. These slices
they dipped into the bacon grease
which was stewing owe the fire. The
last man invariably lost out. I was
the last man.
After breakfast our section carried
their equipment into a field adjoining
the billet and got busy removing the
trench mud therefrom, because at 8:45
a. m, they had to fail in for inspection
and parade, and woe betide the man
who was %unshaven, or had mud on his
uniform. Cleanliness Is next to godli-
ness in the British army, and Old Pep

Our drill consisted Of close-orde,
formation, which lasted until noon
During this time we had two ten-min
ute breaks for rest, and no sooner the
word, "Fall out for ten minutes" was
given than each Tommy got out a fas
and lighted it.
Fags are issued every Sunday morn

twenty and forty. The brand gen
orally issued is the 'Woodbine." Some
times we are lucky and get "Gold
