/ awoke to the sound of bullets whiz-

me much, because / was wondering

could see was dead Germans. 1t sud
denly dawned on me that was In No

Then I-realized what predicament

way to get out Of 1t. The thought came
to me that if was nearer the German
lines than to the French, had better

pocket, for If the Germans catch you
with them you are shot at once.

tune Of bullets and took out load of
over 300 cartridges, threw them on the
ground and then removed my compass

officer, and very nearly knocked his re-
volver out of his hand. showed him
my Identification card and then started
cursing him for shooting at me. He
had been taking potshots at me out
there. He apologized, saying that he
could only see my head, because his
position was slightly lower than No

general, and reported that had seen
more than 800 dead Germans and only
two Frenchmen. 1t made him so happy
