A piece of wood about four inches
wide had been issued. This was to be
strapped on the left forearm by means
Of two leather straps and was like the
side Of a match box; it was called a
striker" There was a tip like the
head Of q match on the fuse Of the
bomb. To ignite the fuse, you had to
rub it on the STRIKER" just the same
as striking a match. The fuse was
timed to five seconds or longer. Some
Of the fuses issued in those days would
burn down in second or two, while
others would "sizz" for week before
exploding. Back in Blighty the NUM-
ton workers weren't quite up to snuff,
the way they are now. If the fuse took
a notion to burn too quickly they gen.
orally buried the bomb maker next
day. So making bombs could not be
called "cushy" or safe job.
After making Several bombs the pro-
fessOr instructs the platoon in throw
ing them. He takes liam TIM from
the fire step, trembling little, be-
cause it is nervous work, especially
when new at it, lights the fuse on his
striker. The fuse begins to "sizz" and
sputter and spiral of smoke, like
that from a smoldering flag, rises from
it. The platoon splits in two and
ducks around the traverse nearest to
them. They don't like the looks and
sound of the burning fuse. When that
fuse begins to smoke and "sizz" you
want to say good-by to it as soon as
possible, so Tommy with all his might
chucks it over the top and crouches
against the parapet, waiting for the
explosion

tumblCd off the step, fell into the mud
at the bottom of the trench, and lay
still in q huddled heap with q bullet
hole in his forehead.
At about the time he expected to ar
rive at Waterloo station he was laid
to rest in q little cemetery behind the
lines. He had gone to Blighty.
In the trenches one can never tell
it is not safe to plan very far ahead.
After "stand down" the men sit on
the fire step or repair to their respec-
tive dugOuts and wait for the rum is
sue" to materialize. Immediately fol
lowing the rum comes breakfast
brought up from the rear. Sleeping is
then in order unless some special work
turns up.
Around 1890 dinner shows up.
When this is eaten the men try to
amuse themselves until "tea" appears
at about four o'clock, then "stand to-
and they carry on as before.
While in rest billets Tommy gets up
about six in the morning, washes up,
answers roll call, is inspected by his
platoon officer, and has breakfast. At
6:45 he parades (drills) with his COM
pany or goes on fatigue according to
the orders which have been read out
by the orderly sergeant the night pre-
viOus.
Between II 80 and noon he is dis
missed, has his dinner and is ION his
own" for the remainder Of the day,
unless he has clicked for a digging or
working party, and so it goes on from
day to day, always looping the loop
and looking forward to peace and
Blighty.
Sometimes, while engaged in a
"cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to
say, but it is a fact, while Tommy is
searching his shirt serious thoughts
come to him. Many a time, when per-
forming this operation, I have tried
to figure out the outcome Of the war
and what will happen to me.
My thoughts generally ran in this
channel:
VIII I emerge safely from the next
attack? If do will l skin through the
following one, and so on? While your
mind is wandering into the future it
Is likely to be rudely brought to earth
by Tommy interrupting with, "What's
good for rheumatism?'
Then you have something else to
think Of. Will you come out of this
war crippled and tied into knots with
rheumatism, caused by the wet and
mud of trenches and dugouts? You
give it up as bad job and generally
saunter over to the nearest eStaminet
to drown your moody forebodings in a
glass Of sickening French beer or to
try your luck at the always present
game of "house." You can hear the
sing-song voice Of q Tommy don.as
