It was just a boy about 18 ‘years old, the average boy who runs away. Early in the game he had been hit through the stomach with a piece ‘of shrapnel. He asked me for a drink and I held my canteen to his lips. He took a few swallows then sank to the ground. I thought he was dead but a few minutes later he jumped up and spitting all the water from his mouth with a lot of blood he mumbled a few words so low I could not hear-then he sank dead into the bottom of the trench. I straightened him out as pest I could in the shell fire then climbed from the trench and was once more after the Hun. All that day un- til late in the afternoon we. chased ‘them back. We had nothing to eat and only a small canteen of water. At last-we stopped for the night, tired out with no rest in sight, hungry with no food, thirsty and no water. sleepy and no chance to lie down. We had had no sleep for two days. The work wasn’t done, however long the night before us and we must prepare for it. We started to dig our trenches, just a couple of feet deep and a couple wide.
