CHAPTER XIV.
The Croix de Guerre.

When we had been on the shore
for about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
I ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at 1t full blast, and the
noise was worse than deafening.
A. section of my company was lying
out in a shell hole near the commu-
nication trench with nothing to do
but wait for shell to find them. We
were stiff and thirsty and uncomfort-
able, and had not slept for two nights.
In that time we had been under con-
slant fire and had stood off several
raiding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches.
We had no sooner got used to the
shell hole and were making ourselves
as comfortable as possible in it when
along came 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 to the hospital. In
fact. the Smelling was so heavy that
none Of us ever expected to come out
Of II alive.
30 u was like keeping your own
