The front lines had taken their
trenches and gone on and you could
see them, when you stood on a para

the enemy communication trenches,
bombing out dugouts, disarming pris-
oners-very scary-looking In their
masks and goggles. The wounded
were coming back slowly. Then we
got busy with our work in the dugouts

Fritz on one side would step out and
yell ''Kamerad," while. like as not, on
the other side, his pal would pot you
with a revolver when you started to
pick him up, thinking he was wounded.

did not 90 very well after he was
dead. He got his in the same charge
in which the chaplain was wounded.
He was one Of the bunch that charged
before the order was given, when the
chaplain got 1t, and was running pretty
near me until we got to the Boche
wire. had to stop to get through,
though must Of 1t was cut up by artil-
lery fire, but he must have jumped it,
for when looked up he was twenty
or thirty PAGES ahead Of me. We got
to the Germans about that time and
I was pretty busy for a while. But
soon saw him again. he was pulling
his bayonet out Of a Boche when an
other made jab at him and stuck him
In the arm. Then the Boche made a
swing at him with his rife. but the
Swiss dropped on one knee and lodged
it He kept defending himself with
his rife. but there was another Ger
man ON him by this time and he could
not get up. The corporal Of our squad
came up just about that time. but he
was too late, because one Of the
Boches got to the Swiss with his bay
onet. He did not have time to with
draw It before our corporal stuck him.
The other German made a pass at the
corporal. but he was too late. The
corporal beat him to 1t and felled him
with a terrific blow from his rife butt.
The Huns were pretty thick around
there Just as another fellow and my
self came up. A Boche swung his rifle
at the corporal and when he lodged 1t
the Boche almost got me. The swing
took him off his feet and then the cor
poral did as pretty a bit Of work as
I ever saw. He jumped for the Boche,
who had fallen. landed on his face
with both feet and gave 1t to the next
one with his bayonet all at the same
time. He was the quickest man ever
saw.
There were a couple Of well-known
savate men in the next company and
I saw one Of them get under Frits's
guard with his foot and, believe me,
there was some force in that kick.
He must have driven the Germans
chin clear through the back Of his
neck.
We thought it was pretty tough luck
to lose both the chaplain and the vii
lage wit In the same charge. along
with half Of our officers, and then have
to give up the trench. Every man In
the bunch was sore a. a boil when we
got back.
