My First Official Bath.

Right behind our rest billet was a
large creek about ten feet deep and
twenty feet across, and it was habit
of the company to avail themselves Of
an opportunity to take a swim and at
the same time thoroughly wash them
selves, and their underwear when on
their own, We were having spell of
hot weather, and these baths to. us
were a. luxury. The Tommies would
splash around in the water. and then
come out and sit in the sun and have
what they termed a f''shirt hunt" At
first I'VE tried to drown the "cooties,"
but they also seemed ITO enjoy the bath.
One Sunday morning the whole Sec
tom was in thescreek and we were hav-
fng$a gay time, when the sergeant ma
jor appeared on the. scene. He came
to the edge of the creek and ordered:
"Come out of, it. GetSyour, equipment
on, drill order,' and. fall in for. bath
parade. Look lively, my hearties. You
have, only got fifteen minutes" A howl
Of indignation from the creek greeted
this order, but out we came. Disci-
pline is discipline. We lined up in
front of our billet with, rifles and bay
onets (why you need rifles and bayo-
nets to take bath gets me), a full
quota of ammunition, and lOur tin hats.
Each man had piece Of fTsoap and a.
towel. After an eight-kilo march along
dusty road, with an occasional shell
whistling overhead, we arrived at
little squat frame building upon the
bank Of creek. Nailed over the door
Of this building was large signwhich

and my troubles commenced. Thirty
two men of the battalion, including my
self, were sent to L., where we
went through course in bombing.
Here we were instructed in the uses,
methods of throwing and manufacture
Of various kinds of hand grenades,
from the old "jam tin," now obsolete,
to the present Mills bomb, the standard
of the British army.
1t ali depends where you are as to
what you are called. In France they
call you ''bomber" and give you med
ais, while in neutral countries they
call you an anarchist and give you
"life."
From the, very start the Germans
were well equipped with effective
bombs and trained bomb throwers, but
the English army was as little pre-.
! pared in this important department of
fighting as in many others. At bomb
ing school an old sergeant Of the Gren-
adler guards, whom / had the good
4 fortune to meet, told me of the discour-
agements this branch of the service
suffered before they could meet the
Germans on an equal footing. (Paci'
fists and small army people in the
~. S. please read with carey The first
English expeditionary forces had no
bombs at all, but had clicked lot OF
casualties from those thrown by the

higher up had an idea and issued an

stoned officers were generally selected
for this course. After about two
weeks at school they returned to their
units in rest billets or in the fire
trench, as the case might be, and got
busy teaching their platoons how tO
make "jam tins"
Previously an order had been issued
for all ranks to save empty jam tins
for the manufacture of bombs. A pro.
fessor of bombing would sit on the
fire step in, the front trench; with the
remainder of his section crowding
around to see him work.
On his left would be pile of empty
and rusty jam tins, while beside him

the right leg, knee bent, is carried

overhead bowling motion, the same as
in cricket, throwing it fairly high in
the air, this in order to give the fuse
a chance to burn down so that when
the bomb lands, it Immediately ex-
plodes and gives the Germans no time
to scamper out Of its range or to re-
turn it.
AS the bomb leaves your hand, the
lever, by means Of a spring, is projected
into the air and falls harnlessly to
the ground few feet in front Of the
bomber.
When the lever flies off it. releases
a,strong spring, which forces the firing
pin into a percussion cap. This ignites
the fuse, which burns down and sets
off the detonator, charged with fulmi-
nate Of mercury, which explodes the
main charge of ammonal.
The average British soldier is not an
expert at throwing; it is new game
to him, therefore the Canadians and
Americans, who have played baseball
