Mr. Purney’s own story follows in part: “With the ten months ending in June I was in active service in Flan- ders and the last two weeks of the T took part in the battle of Ypres. During this period the German ar- tillery fire was the heaviest on any | front since the beginning of the war and one of the bloodiest. Without doubt the Germans are brave soldiers and excellent men with their artillery tut the Allies are in cantrol of an in- tions and the tide has already turned | in their favor. Tho Allies’ slowness in | advancing was partly due to the fact that their supply of artillery was low and now that a full number of guns has been sent to the front the advan- tage has shifted. “I was shot on the evening of the third day while we were halding the front line of trenches. The Germans opened the battle with high explosive shells and shrapnel which scattered in all directions. I was forced to enter a small signal station near the front lines in order to talk with the rear. These stations are a number of feet square and each contains several men wha ‘phone to the artil- lery the results of their shots and direct them on the position to place their guns. I was just handing the 'phone back to one of these men when a howitzer shell entered the station and when T recovered from the his | ting from wounds he received in one | | Tl g 'mmB, C.
