Shouting to another marine, the
Doc ran over to the sick bay,
grabbed stretcher and started in
the direction in which the courier
had pointed. 1t was at least three
hundred yards across the field.
Shippers were plentiful, and shells i,
were dropping all about. Down on
their stomachs went the Doc land
the marine. Pushing the streteher
ahead, they wriggled and crawled
through the stubble to the trench.
They found the colonel with the
doctor and the colonel's orderly.
The colonel was weak from less OF
blood. The d0cto: said that Sthev
must get him out as soon as pos.
sible. But the shells were coming
too fast and the snipers bullets
were whistling too ominously Tor
an immediate getaway.
Shrapnel, also, was falling in tbe
trench. The orderly put himself
between his colonel and the enemy
fire.

looked at his watch-4t was after
eight o'clock.
"Guess we'd better make the
break" he said.
They got the colonel on the
stretcher and started. Half way
across the field the Docs leg went
back Oil him and he had to let go
his hold on the stretcher. But he
took hold again in minute or two

told an interviewer. II wanted to

He fumbled in his pocket and
