and big clouds Of black smoke, sliding
along the ground, covered our shell
hole and hung there for some time.
One Of our sergeants, from the regular
French infantry, said 1t was q shell
from Turkish 155.mm. hqwitzer.
That was only the first one. The
worst thing about them was the smoke
people who think Pittsburgh is
smoky ought to see about fifty of those
big howitzer shells bursting, one after
another.
We could not tell what the rest OF
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful fire, but we felt
sure they we're not having any worse
time than we were. In a few minutes
we heard the good old "75s'' start
pounding, and 1t was like hearing an
old friends voice over the telephone.
and everybody In our shell hole
cheered, though no one could hear US
and we could barely hear each other.
Still we knew that If the "75s" got
going in their usual style they would
do for an enemy battery or two, and
that looked good to US. The "75s"

there in the hole and he died. Shortly
afterward the fire slackened q little
and I got out and started toward on.
lines. But I remembered about the
other wounded man 1 had passed
when was carrying Philippe Pierre,
30 I began hunting for him, and after
a long time found him. He was still
alive. His chest was all smashed in
and he was badly cut up around the
neck and shoulders. picked him up
and started back, but ran into some
barbed wire and had to go around.
I was pretty tired by this time and
awfully thirsty, and thought if did
not rest little bit could never make
it. I was so tired and nervous that
did not care much whether l did
get back or not, and the wounded
garby was groaning all the time.
So when I thought the shells were
coming pretty thick again got into
shell hole and it was the same one
l had left not long before. The dead
garby was there just as had left him.

over, and my clothes were just soaked
with blood from the three men, but
most Of all from him. There was some
of my own blood on me, too, for when
I was knocked down by the shell my
nose bled and kept bleeding for a long
time, but, of course, that was nothing
compared to the bleeding of the
others. r'
The worst of all was that he kept
gr0aning for water, and it made me
thirstier than I had been, even. But
there was not a drop of water any
where and I knew there was no use
searching any bodies for TASKS. So
we just had to stick it out. Pretty
soon the wounded man quit grooming
and was quiet, and knew he was

|, started back after the other garby.
l was not exactly afraid as crawled
along searching for the other man,
but I was very thirsty and nervous
for fear our barrage would begin
again or the machine guns cut loose.
After what seemed long time came
upon q wounded man, but he was not
the one I was after. I thought about
"a bird in the hand" etc., and was just
starting to pick this chap up when
shell burst almost on US and
knocked me two or three feet away.
It is wonder it did not kill both
of us, but neither Of us was hurt. I
thought the fire would get heavier
then, so l dragged the other chap into
one of two holes made by the shell.
Some pieces of the shell had stuck
into the dirt in the hole and they were
still hot. Also, there was sort of
gas there that hung around for sew
eral minutes, but it was not very bad.
The man began talking to me, and
he said it was an honor to lie on the
field of battle with leg shot off and
dead men piled all about you, and
some not dead but groaning. He told
me I would soon be able to hear the
groaning, though I had not said I
minded it, or anything about it. Then
he said again what an honor it was,
and asked if I had drink for him.
I had not had any water all day, and
told him so, but he kept on asking
for it all the same. Some of the Turk
lsh bombers must have sneaked up
| pretty close to our lines, for when l
looked out of the hole toward our
lines, and a shell burst near them,
I could see Turk coming toward us.
We played dead then, but had my
bayonet ready for him in case he had
seen US and decided to come up to the
!, hole. Evidently he had mot, for when
he got near the hole he steered to the
side and went around.
The other garby was cheerful when
1e was not asking for water, but you
could see he was going fast. So we sat
Williston graphic., 1919-01-09

But the Turks were not as bad as
Fritz. They were just as good or bet
ter as fighters, and whole lot whittier.
Often, when we were frying in the
trenches and not a drop of water was
to be had, something would land on
the ground near us and there would be
a water bottle, full. Sometimes they
almost bombarded us with bottles.
Then, too, they would not fire on the
Red Cross, as the Germans do; they
would hold their fire many times when
we were out picking up our wounded.
Several times they dragged our wound
ed as close as they could to the barbed
wire that we might find them easier.
After Murray died l got to thinking
a lot more than I used to, and though
I did not have any hunch exactly, still
felt as though might get 1t, too,
which was something had never
thought much about before. I used to
think about my grandmother, too,
when I had time, and about Brown.
I used to wonder what Brown was
doing and wish we were together. But
I could remember my grandmother
smiling, and that helped some. I guess
I was lonely, to tell the truth. I did
not know the other garbies very we'll,
and the only one left that was
really very friendly with got his soon
afterward, though not as bad as Muir
ray. And then there was no one that
I was really chummy with. That would
not have bothered me at all before
Murray died.
The other lad I spoke of as having
been chummy with was Philippe
Pierre. He was about eighteen and
came from Bordeaux. He was very
cheerful fellow and he and Murray
and used to be together lot. He
felt almost as bad about Murray az
did, and you could see that It
changed him a great deal, too But he
was still cheerful most of the time.

CHAPTER XIII.
L,meys, Anzaes and PolIus.

1Smey0, AnzacS On0 p0UUS.
One night, while we were expecting
an attack, the word was passed down
the line to have the wire cutters ready
and to use bayOnets only for the first
Ioart Of the attack. for We were to try
and take the first enemy trench BY
surprise. The first trench was only
about eighty yards away. Our big guns
opened up and at zero we climbed out
and followed the curtain of fire too
closely, it seemed to me.
But the barrage stopped too soon,
as it does sometimes, and there were
plenty of Turks left. We were half
way across when they saw us, and
they began banging away at US very
hard. They pounded at us as we came
on until we were given the order to
retire, almost as We were on them
what was left of US.
As we turned and started back the
Turks rushed out to cOunter-attack us,
the first of them busy with bombs.
Then tripped over something and
rolled around while and then saw
1t was Philippe Pierre. His left leg
was dangling, cloth and flesh and all
shot away and the leg hanging to the
rest Of him by shred. Two or three
OF our men who were on their way
back to our trenches tripped over me
as 1 tried to get up, and then shell
exploded near by and thought had
got it sure, but it was only the rocks
thrown up by the explosion.
Finally was able to stand up. So
I slung my rifle over one shoulder
and got Philippe Pierre up on th<
other, with his body from the waist
up hanging over my back. so that
I could hold his wounded leg on, and
started back. There was only one or
two Of our men left between the
trenches. Our machine guns were at
it hard and the Turks were firing and
bombing at full speed.
I had not gone more than two or
three PAGES when I came across
another of our men, wounded in sew
eral places and groaning away at a
great rate. Philippe Pierre was not
saying word, but the other chap
did enough for the two of them. One
wounded man was'all could manage,
with my rifle and pack, over the rough
ground and the barbed wire had to
60 through. So told this fellow,
whose name cannot remember
never did know him very well-that I
would come back for him, and went
on. I almost fell several times, but
managed to get through safely and
rolled over our parapet with Philippe
Pierre. They started the lad back in
q stretcher right away. When I saw
him again he gave me little box as
q souvenir, but have lost it.
The Turks had not got very far with
their counter-attack, because we were
able to get our barrage going in time
to check them. But they were still out
In front Of their trenches when !

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 it 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
atant fire and had stood of several
faiding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches. ....t +
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 shelling was so heavy that
none Of us ever expected to come out
of it alive.
So, it was like keeping. your own
death watch, with the. shells tuning
up for the dirge. 1t was impossible to
listen to the shells. If you kept your
mind on the noise for any length Of
time it would split your eardrums, I
am sure. So all we could do was to
lay low in the shell hole and wait for
something to happen. LII
Then they began using shrapnel on
US, and one of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean Oh
his shoulders, and the rest of him
landed near my feet and squirmed q
little, like a chicken that had just been
killed. It was awful to see the body
without any head move around that
way, and we could hardly make our
selves touch it for some time. Then
we rolled 1t to the other side Of the
hole.
Then, to one side Of US, there was
q more violent explosion than any yet.
Williston graphic., 1919-01-09

made the noise worse, but It was al.
ready about as bad as it could be,
and a thousand guns more or less
would not have made it any harder
to stand.
One of our men shouted in the ser
geant's ear that the men in line ahead
of us and to the right were trying to
give us message of some kind. The
sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had look. But 1 stayed
where I was-the sergeant could see
for himself and me, too, as far as
was concerned.
He shouted at Us that the men In
the other trench were trying to signal
something, but he could not make it
out because the clouds of smoke would
roll between them and break up the
words. So he laid down again in the
bottom Of the hole. But after while
he looked over the parapet and saw
man just leaving their trench, EVIL
IDENTIFY with a message for US, and he
had not gone five steps before he was
blown to pieces, and the lad who fol-
lowed him got his, too, so they stopped
trying then.
And all the time the '75s" were
sending theirs to the Turks not far
over our heads to 900 yards behind
us, and the howitzers were dropping
their 24O-pound bits of iron in every
vacant space and some that were not
vacant. It was just one big roar and
screech and growl all at once, like
turning the whole dog pound loose
on piece of meat.
The conclusions felt like one long
string of boxes on the ear, and our
throats were so dry that it hurt to
swallow, which always makes your
ears feel better after a strong concus-
