When I woke up was In an advanced

When woke up I was In an advanced
frst-aid post. I asked the doctor If
we had taken the trench. 1--WE took
the trench and the wood beyond, all
right" he said, land you fellows did
your bit; but, my lad, that was thirty
six hours ago. You were lying in No
Mans Land in that bally hole for day
and half. It's wonder you are alive"
He also told me that out Of the twenty
that were in the raiding party, seven
teen were killed. The officer died Of
wounds in crawling back to our trench
and was severely wounded, but one
fellow returned without scratch, with
out any prisoners. No doubt this chap
was the one who had sneeZed and Inn
properly cut the barbed wire.
In the official communique our trench
raid was described as follows:
Gall quiet on the western front, ex-
cepting in the neighborhood of Com
mecourt wood, where one Of our raid
ing parties penetrated into the German
lines"
It is needless to say that we had NO
use for our persuaders or come-alongs,
as we brought back no prisoners, and
until I die Old Peppers words, "Per-
sonally don't believe that that part
Of the German trench is occupied" will
always come to me when hear some
fellow trying to get away with q fishy
statement. will Judge it accordingly.
