geons of inferno, but often they sent
up signal shells-roseate, bursting
things that bathed all that evil land
in a blood-red light. When their glare
fared over us we had to stand as we
were caught, hand or foot appraised
moveless objects In the red glow until
the light snuffed out and all was dark
once more.
We reached the German entangle-
ments and began cutting them with
our oiled clippers We were careful,
very careful, but we were not careful
enough. They heard US. Over came

they had been on parade they came
forth In broad daylight into the very
teeth of the enemy and picked up
what was left Of Jack, Tom and me.
AS though we had been their own
brothers they bore us back, swiftly,

Huns did?

bearers of the dead and man who lay
