and pokin' fun at D company, bad
luck to you, but you won't get another
chance to disgrace us. They'll put
your lights out in the mOrnin'."
After listening TO this TRADE, Lloyd,
In a faltering voice, asked: They are
not going to shoot me, are they? Why,
the other sentry said they'd pardon
me. For Gods sake-don't tell me I'm
to be shot - and his voice died away in
a sob.
"Of course. they're going to shoot
you. The other sentry was Jest a-kid-
din you. Jest like old Smith. Always
a-tryin' to cheer some one. You amt
got no more chance o. bein' pardoned
than 1 have of gettin' to be colonel Of
my bait"
When the fact that all hope was
gone finally entered Lloyd's brain, a
calm seemed to settle over him, and
rising to his knees, with his arms
stretched out to heaven, he prayed. and
all Of his soul entered into the prayer.
30. good and merciful God, give me
strength to die like a man! Deliver
me from this towards death. Give me
a chance to die like my mates in the
fighting line, to die fighting for my
country. ] ask this of thee"
A peace, hitherto unknown, came to
him, and he crouched and covered no
more. but calmly waited the dawn.
ready to go TO his death. The shells
were bursting all around the guard
room. but he hardly noticed them.
While waiting there. the voice Of the
sentry. singing in a low tone, came to
him. He was singing the chorus Of the
popular trench ditty:
I want to go home, I want to go home.
I don't want to go to the trenches no
more.
Where the "whizzbangs' and "~sausages"
roar galore.
Take me over the sea. where the Allemand
can't get at me.
Oh. my. I don't want to die I want to 90
home.
Lloyd listened to the words with a
strange interest. and wondered what
kind Of a home he would go to across
the Great Divide. It would be the only
home he had ever known.
Suddenly there came a great rushing
through the air, a binding. a deafen-
ing report. and the sandbag walls Of
the guardroom toppled owe and then

when suddenly the officer made a left
wheel, and we found ourselves in a sort
OF enclosed courtyard.
The dawn was breaking and the
rain had ceased.
In front of US were four stacks of
rifles, three to a stack.
The officer brought us to attention
and gave the order to unpile arms. We
each took a rifle. Giving US "Stand at
ease" in a nervous and shaky voice,
he informed:
Men, you are here on a very solemn
duty. You have been selected as a
firing squad for the execution of a sol
der, who, having been found guilty
of a %grievous crime against king and
country, has been regularly and duly
tried and sentenced TO be shot at 3 :2S
a. n. this date. This sentence has been
approved by the reviewing authority
and ordered carried out. 1t is our duty
to carry on with the sentence of the
court.
There are twelve rifles, one Of
which contains a blank cartridge, the
other eleven containing ball cartridges.
Every man is expected to do his duty
and fire to kill. Take your orders from
me. Squad-'Shun !"
We came to attention. Then he left.
My heart was of lead and my knees
shook.
After standing at attention" for

A few days later / had orders to re-
port back to divisional headquarters,
about thirty kilos behind the line. I
reported to the A.. P. M. assistant pro-
vost marshal). He told me to report
to billet No. IS for quarters and ra-
lions.
1t was about eight o'clock at night
and / was tired and soon fell asleep In
the straw OF the billet. It was q mis-
cradle night outside, cold, and a drizzIy
rain was falling.
About two In the morning / was
awakened by some one shaking me by
the shoulder. Opening my eyes 1 saw
a regimental sergeant major bending
over me. He had a lighted lantern in
his right hand. I started to ask him
what was the matter, when he put his
finger to his lips for silence and whis-
pered:
"Get on your equipment, and, with
out any noise, come with me-"
This greatly mystihed me, but 1
obeyed his order.
Outside of the billet, l asked him
what was up, but he shut me up with a:
Don't ask questions, it's against or
ders. / don't know myself"
1t was raining like the mischief.
We splashed along a muddy road for
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance of what must have
been an old barn. In the darkness, I
could hear pigs gruntfng, as if they
had Just been disturbed. In front of
the door stood an officer In a mack
(mackintosh). The r. S. NJ. went up
to him, whispered something, and then
left. This officer called to me, asked
my name, number and regiment, at the
same time, in the light Of a lantern he
was holding, making a notation In a
little book.
When he had finished writing, he
whispered
"Go into that billet and wait orders,
and no talking. Understand"
l stumbled into the barn and cat on
the floor in the darkness. I could see
no one, but could hear men breathing
and moving they seemed nervous and
restless. 1 know 1 was.
During my wait, three other en-
entered. Then the officer poked his
head In the door and ordered:
Fall In, outside the billet, in single
rank"
We fell in. standing at ease. Then
ne commanded:
"Squad-'Shunl NumberI"
There were twelve Of us.
"Right-Turnl Left-Wheell Quick
March !" And away we went. The
rain was trickling down my back and
1 was shivering from the cold.
With the officer leading, we must
have marched over an hour, blowing
through the mud and occasionally
stumbling into a shell hole in the road,

With this. the sentry resumed the
pacing Of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he vas relieved, and a d
company man took his place.
Looking Into the guardhouse. the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with a sneer. said to him
Instead Of whimpering In that cor
ner, you ought TO be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like you
what's spoilin' our record. We've been
out here nigh onto eighteen months,
