This charge made by men who looked death indifferently in ithe face saved the Canadian left, It also secured and maintained during the. most . critical moment of all the | Integrity of the allied line.” Fumes Killed' Two ‘Privates, The narrative says that two pri- vates of the 48th Highlanders per- ished of the polsonous fumes set free by the Germans. In conclusion the official story says: “On Friday afternoon the left of the Canadian line was strengthened by important reinforcements of Brit- ish troops amounting to seven battal- jons. From this time forward the Canadians also continued to receive further assistance on the left from a series of French counter attacks pushed in a northeasterly direction from the Canal bank.” A second installment of Sir Max Altken's narrative carried the account up to Friday, April 23. It says in part: Canadians Give Ground. *The fire of the artillery of the enemy continually grew in intensity. It became evident that the Canadian salient could no longer be maintained against the overwhelming superiority of numbers by which it was assalled.

The Third Brigade was, there- fore, ordered to retreat further south. But it was found impossible without hazarding for larger forces to disen- tangle the detachment of the Royal Highlanders of Montreal, 13th Bat- talion, and of the Royal Montreal Regiment, 13th Battalion. The brigade was ordered not a moment too soon to move back. It left these units with heavy hearts, Died Worthily of Canada. “The German line rolled over the deserted village, but for several hours after the enemy had become master of the village the sullen and persist- ent rifle fire which survived showed that they were not yet master of the Canadian rear guard. If they died they died worthily of Canada. “The enforced retirement of the Third Brigade—and to have stayed longer would have been madness— | reproduced for the Second Brigade commanded by Brig. Gen.
