George billiard in Letter
Writes of Experiences
In Germany

PRESTON, Dec. 17.-George Dill
lard. son of G. W. billiard, of Web
der county, in an interesting letter
tells of thrilling experiences while
anticipating in the world war in Eu-
rope as a soldier in the English army.
He writes:
"I am very glad to have the op-
portunity of again enjoying the hap
piness of home and to look upon the
faces I once knew, after a four
years absence and struggle for life.
Some of my friends will recall that I
Joined the British army in 1916
that is, the Kings Liverpool rogi-
ment, one of the infantry branches.
81 embarked at New Orleans on an
ocean steamer, and it took US twenty
one days to reach Liverpool Eng
land, and it was only a few days af-
ter my arrival that Joined the army.
I had two months of hard training
at Blackpool. From there | was sent
to France, where had about six
months experience in the trench, and
was captured on August 8, 1916 We
made the attack at A am. and by
night were surrounded by the enemy.
That same morning we soldiers that
were left to fight, fought off two
counter attacks, but our forces were
not strong enough to compel the en-
envy to retire. was knocked un-
conscious with a terrible shrapnel
wound in my right shoulder. It was
twenty-four hours later before | be-
came conscious enough to tell ex-
actly where I was. 1t was shabby
frst-aid German hospital, ten miles
behind the German trenches. When
I came to I was thirsty for water on
account of losing so much blood, and
a German soldier, who was standing
beside me, kicked me and spat in my
face and told me that I could drink
that! This was my first experience
with German brutality, in the land
of starvation and brutality. 1t was
several weeks later that I was NOV
ed to hospital in Germany, where
was treated as before. leaving ma
ture to cure the wound, which took
fifteen months.
eve prisoners had no medical
treatment. 1t was simply awful the
treatment we received. I was once
sentenced to be shot while in cap
tivity, but was helped by a German
woman, as she told the court struck
the sentry to defend myself, on a
farm job. I was then given twelve
months in prison on bread and water
More than once l thought my time
had come. This camp was located
in Saxony, in the middle of Germany.
