CHAPTER XIV.
The croix de Guerre.

When we had been on the shore
Tor about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at 1t full blast, and the
noise was worse than deafenlng.
A section of my company was lying
ont in n shell hole near the commu-
nicatlon trench with nothing to do
but wait for shell TO find them. We
were stiff and thirsty and uncomfort-
nbe, and had not slept for two nights
IN that time we had been under con
slant fire and had stood off several
ralding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches.
We had no sooner got used to the
shell hole and We're making ourselves
rs comfortable as possible In it when
along came a shell of what must have
been the Jack Johnson size, and we
were swamped. We had to dig three
OF the men out, and though one of
them was badly wounded we could not
send him back 10 the hospital. In
fact, the Smelling was SO heavy that
none Of us ever expected 10 come out
n IL alive.
So It was like keeping your own
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1918-08-23

death watch, with the shells tuning
up for the dlrge. II was impossible TO
listen to the shells. If you kept your
mind on the noise for any length Of
time IL would split your enrdrums,
am sure. SO all we could do was to
lay low In the shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
us, and one of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean Off
| his shoulders, and the rest Of him
landed near my feet and squirmed a
little, like chicken that had just been
killed. 1t was awful to see the body
without any head move around that
way, and we could hardly make our
selves touch II for some time. Then
we rolled 1t TO the other side of the
hole.
Then, to one side OF us, there was
n more violent explosion than any yet.
The earth spouted up and fell on us.
and big clouds of black smoke, sliding
along the ground, covered our shell
hole and hung there for some time.
One of our sergeants, from the regular
| French infantry, said II was shell
from Turkish 155-mm. howltzer
That was only the first one. The
worst thing about them was the smoke
people who think Pittsburgh is
smoky ought to see about fifty of those
big howitzer shells bursting, one after
another.
We could not tell what the rest of
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful fire, but we felt
sure they were not having any worse
time than we were. In few minutes
we heard the good old "75s' start
pounding. and It was like hearing an
old friends voice over the telephone,
and everybody I'm our shell hole
chccrcd, though no one could hear us
and we could barely hear each other
Still we knew that If the Abs" got
| going In their usual style they would
do for an enemy battery or two. and
that looked good to us. The "75s
made the noise worse, but 1t was al
ready about as bad as II could be,
and thousand guns more or less
would not have made 1t any harder
to stand.
One of our men shouted In the SER
geants ear that the men In line ahead
of us and to the right were trying to
give us message of some kind. The
sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had a look. But | stayed
where l was-the sergeant could see
for himself and me. too. as far as
was concerned.
He shouted at us that the men In
the other trench were trying to signal
something. but he could nc make II
out because the clouds of smoke would
roll between them and break up the
words. So he laid down again in the
bottom of the hole. But after while
he looked over the parapet and saw
n man just leaving their trench, evi
IDENTIFY with n message for us, and he
had not gone five steps before he was
blown to pieces, and the lad who fol
lowed him got his, too, so they stopped
trying then.
And all the time the "75s" were
sending theirs to the Turks not fan

think would get through, but finally,
when / reached what had been the
communication trench / felt had
done the worst part of 1t, and / began
to wish very hard that l would get
through was not ut all crazy about
going west.
The mouth of the communication
trench had been battered in and the
trenches it Joined with were all filed
up. There We're rifles sticking out
of them I'm several places, and
thought probably the men had been
buried alive I'm them. But 1t was too
late then, If they had been caught so
l climbed over the blocked entrance to
the communication trench and started
back along it. 1t led up through sort
of gully, and ! thought it was bad
place To dig communication trench
in, because Ii gave the Turks some
thing like the side of a hill to shoot at.
Every once in II while / would have
to climb In and out of shell hole,
and parts of them were blocked where
shell had caved In the walls. In one
place | saw corpses all torn to pieces,
so l knew the Turks had found the
range and had got to this trench in
great shape. At another place | found
lots of blood and equipment but no
bodies. and l figured that reinforce
ments had been caught at this spot
and that they had retired. taking their
casualties with them.
The Turks still had the range and
they were sending shell into the
trench every once in while, and |
was knocked down again. though the
shell was so far away that 1t knocYad
me down with force of habit more
than anything else. l felt dizzy and
shivered lot, and kept trying to think
of Murray or anything else but myself.
So finally j got to the top of the
little hill over which the gully ran.
and on the other side | felt almost
safe. Just down from the crest of the
hill was one of our artillery positions,
with the good old '75s" giving It to the
Turks as fast as they could. told
the artillery ofiit ers what had hap
pened, had a drink of water and
thought would take nap. But when
they telephoned the message back to
division headquarters the man at the
receiver said something to the officer
and he told me to stay there and be
ready. l thought sure he would send
me back to where | came from and
knew / never could make 1t again,
but did not say anything.

Then our sergeant asked the name

He seemed to cheer up a lot after
