He was in the second wave. When they got 50 yards ahead his company followed. The Germans opened fire and the men in the first wave went down like ten- pins. His company got in position to fill up the ranks in the first wave. We ‘waited for the third wave to come up, said Corporal Holmes, and the tanks hadn’t started and we couldn’t under- stand it.

He told of aiding a German soldier who' was found wound- ed on the field of battle. As soon as Corporal Holmes and his comrades had turned their back on the Hun he picked up his rifie which was beside him and shot one of Corporal Holmes’ comrades through the back. When Corporal Holmes had turned around at the sound of the shot he saw his comrade dying and the cowardly Hun with his skull crushed in by the butt end of an allied rifle.
