The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1918-05-11

There are so many instances OF he
role deeds performed under fire in res
cuing the wounded that 1t would take
several books to chronicle them, but
have to mention one instance per-
formed by chaplain, Captain Hall by
name, In the brigade on our left, be-
cause 1t particularly appealed to me-
A chaplain Is not fighting man; he
Is recognized us noncombatant and
carries no arms. In charge or trench
raid the soldier gets feeling of con-
fidcnce from contact with his rifle, re-
volvcr, or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can inflict
harm on the enemy-in other words
he Is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain is empty-handed
and is at the mercy of the enemy IL
he encounters them, SO 1t Is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire, and bring in wounded. Also a
chaplain Is not required by the kings
regulations to go over in charge, but
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind of fire, each time re-
turning with wounded man on his
back. On the third trip he received
bullet through his left arm but never
reported the matter to the doctor until
late that night-Just spent his time adj
mlnistering to the wants of the wound
ed lying on stretchers.
The chaplalns of the British army
are d fine. manly set of men, and are
greatly respected by Tommy.

rough time of 1t; they had no cover |:
Just had to take their medicine.
Word was passed down the line to
beat 1t for our trenches. We needed no
urging; grabbing our tools and stoop-

bpon the cessation or this nre,
Strctcher bearers went out to look for

learned that u of our men had been
Killed and 81 wounded. Five men were

must have wandered over into the Ger

killed or captured.
Speaking Of stretcher bearers and
wounded, IL is very hard for the aver |
