they had started late and far

They became hopelessly tangled
up in traffic on the roads, and
were exhausted by long march

they reached their place on the
battlefield. Then they took their
own transport and cookers too
far forward into a murderous
place called Philosophe. and all
their wagons were smashed to
pieces by shell fire. These two
divisions had never fought be-
fore: the officers were inexperi-

troops under heavy fire and

and that fire never ceased day or
night so that the village of Loos
was flung into a heap OF ruin
and the mining works around
Lens were torn and mangled in
to fragments of twisted steel.
The town of Bethune on our side
of the lines was the assembly

its old Grand Place on a day of

Black Watch among the Eng
lish troops of the LIST Division
and the 18th Division was COM
posed entirely OF Scottish Terri
torials, who were about to night
their first big battle. The 47th
Division was composed of Lon
don Territorials, volunteer SOL
diers from the great old city
who were inspired that day OF
battle with the old spirit OF
death or glory. When the as
sault began at dawn the Scots
went forward to the music of
their pipes, screaming the
charge under heavy shell FIRE,
and the London boys, not to be
outdone by this music, went over
the top playing mouth-organs to
the music hall song of 'Hulloh,
Hulloh. It's Different Girl
Again; one company actually
dribbing a football all the way
to Loos to show their contempt
of death. The battle began with
success as far as concerned the
Scots of the 18th Division and
the Londoners of the 47th. The
Gordons were first through the
German lines and into the enc
my's village of Loos. where
they made many prisoners. and
they were followed by the Black
Watch. Seaforth's, Camerons,
and Highland Light Infantry.
Then they assaulted and cap
tured Hill 70 beyond. The Lon
doners on the right were also
successful and kept pace with
the Scots, fighting gallantly un-
der frightful fire and against
the desperate defense OF the
enemy. Some parties of the
Scots with Londoners among
them went on to the mining viii

and did what they were told in
their method of attack, and were
marvelously obedient to their
discipline and training. Un-
doubtedly many mistakes were
made in the way of command.
1t would be fantastic to suppose
that an army like ours, made up
for the most part of amateur

We learnt in the frst place that
unless men took the risk of
keeping close behind the NOV
ing wall of high explosives hung
by our guns in front Of them
with inevitable casualties from
shells that burst too close, they
would suffer far greater casual
ties, because the German troops
would have time to get out Of
their dugouts and tunnels after
the barrase fire had passed over
them and sweep our men to
death with machine gun fre. In

enemy would quickly signal to
all his batteries for miles around,
and from a wide area of artil-
lery twenty miles or so on each

would be directed an annihilat-
ing fire upon our advancing
troops. Before those lessons
were learnt the British armies
suffered devastating losses. They
attacked and captured the ruins
of Contalmaison and fell in
great numbers. Again and again
they captured Delville Wood and
High Wood and had to retreat
from the ground they had won
