Our machine guns gave the usual good account of themselves, and the German dead were piled up over our wire entanglements in great heaps, ‘The Germans would fall back, reform and come on again tn their usual close formation, Go it went all night, and when the morning came the lead ground” between the two lings af trenches Was @ gruesome-looking place During the day the Germans bom- barded our first and second-hae trenches with high explosives and sehrapnel all day, and at night thoy umed their infantry attack on our position, Day after day and night after night the battle continued undl we all felt dead and numb all etm, Sometimes the Germans would penetrate our lines for a few yards, then we would {mmediately “counter” before they had a chance to strengthen their position, We lost an awful lot of men, but even though I don’t know the exact figures I know Tam safe im saying that the German losses were more than double what ours were, We despatch ridera were certainly Dinan nanan nn nnn nfinnnn GEST NOVELS PUBLISHE ON THIS PAGE COMPLETE EVERY TWO WEEKS, kept busy during this time. Our work was to bo standing by every minute of the day and night, and the moment we were wanted, to sling the despatch case over our shoulder and get away for the headquarters to the rear, The riding at night was terrible, The Germans were shelling all the roads in the vicinity, and we had to go dashing along through the inky blackness at breakneck pace. It was impossible to see more than a yard or two ahead, and so !t was a case of ride lke the dickens and trust to luck, The road was covered with shell holes, and the first intimation we would get of the fact was when ‘we would feel the motorbike drop be- neath us and feel ourselves shooting through the air like amateur eky- rockets, We would pick ourselves up, drag the motorbike out of the hole, and, if it would still run, Jump on !t and got away again, We certainly got some terrible spills, and there were a good many who got broken bones, and a few who had their necks and backs broken, Imagination cannot concetve of our utter misery, rywhere I looked at all hours of the day night, it was just nightmare, Most of the tme wa were kept too busy to sleep and we would bo go tired wo could hardly move. The ¢onstant din of the guns © meee and tho exploding shelfs was enough to drive nearly all of us insane, Perhaps this little incident will show what condition our nerves were In, A young fellow named Lewis and I had chummed together for the time being, and we rodo the same route during the entire battle, One night he came down to headquarters Just ahead of me, and, I assure you, we camo through some mighty hot territory, I was tn awful condition myself, but I think he was eve Wusovs I handed my case tn, and, while I was waiting for orders, 1 went out to the petro! stores to fill up the tank on my bike, Lewis was talking to the officer in charge of the riders, and was standing with his back to the door, Another fellow came in carrying two empty petrol tins, and, unintentionally of course, ho dropped them just be- hind Lewis, They made quite a racket, and coming 60 suddenly, Lewis Jumped over a table and fainted dead away. Wo were all in about the same con- @ition, and it didn’t take much to get @ riso out of us. Poor Lewis was Killed the next night by falling into a shell hole, About the fifth or sixth night of the battle, the Germans broke through us, and advanced nearly a mile into our territory. They held their gain about fourteen hours, when we counter at- tacked and took it all back again. Of course our advanced report centro re- tired as the Germans advanced, gut I was down at the permanent headquar- ters at the time, so I didn't get any of the excitement of the retirement. When we advanced again our road lay over ground that had been in Ger- man hands during the few hours they held the ground. A despatch rider was coming over this road just as daylight dawmed. Two wounded Germans lay on the «#ide of the road, and as the rider paswed, one of them called to him and asked for a drink of water, The rider stopped, turned around and went back, throw his water bottle to them, and then turnedgground and started,on again. As th® rider turned these two men both fired on him, and one of the bul- lots struck part of his motorcycle, All the time this great battle was raging the bombardment of Ypres con- tinued, and not only Ypres alone, but all the surrounding villages, and the roads leading from one to the other I enid that at the beginning of this battle our corps of path numbered thirty-one in all, At the end of the engagement, three weeks later, there were only four of us let out of the ortginal thirty-one who started. ‘The Germans faile? to break us, and #0 the Kaiser kept his word regarding the elty of Ypres. Day after day they bombarded the place, so that now there is not one single house left standing For some reagon the Germans continue to shell the Paco from time to time, but they can't do any more damage than what they have already done The ehd of the battle found us with oF powttfin «till tntact. and T don't think they will ever come any nearer to break through the British lines, After the battle I was, of course, re Moved of my job as motorcycle despatch riders rider and resumed my duty an orderly to headquarters, CHAPTER XV. GREAT deal has been said of the Canadians, Too much praise cannot be given them, ‘The first of the Canadian regiments to come into action was the Princess Patriola's Canadian Light Infantry, ‘This regiment was in one of the divi- sions 19 our army “corps, so I saw quite @ bit of them from time to time. ‘They were @ fine body of men and were very highly thought of by all the English regiments with whom they were associated. They were strong men and needed strong leaders tu keep them at their highest point of eMotency, Such mon as Col, Farqu- har they adored, and there was noth- ing he could ask them to do that would remain undone, It was his custom to lead his men into action carrying nothing but a walking stick, end Uttle things ke this mean @ great deal to the men of a regiment. At the time the Canadians were brought into action we had some biack troops on our extreme left. The rmang sent over gas and these black troops were forced to retire. Supports were called for, and as ours was the nearest headquarters In the vicinity the call came to us. Woe had no spare troops avatlable right on the spot, so the men of the headquarters unit (orderiies, messen- gers, &¢.) wero called upon to go up ond act as supports until reinforce- ments could be brought up. We went up on the dead run and found that t black troops had retired, so we went Into the position just in front of th jermans, The Kaiser's t pa had advanced about two miles, but bad stopped at the last trench of our line of defense, here were no more trenches for four miles, ‘The troops who had retired were or- dered into rest camp when we took ; tion over, so we had to go tn and jd until the Canadians camo up. The Germans made no attempt to advance any further, and we cer- tn were in no position to quarrel with them Just then, We waited there all night, @nd Just before dawn the Canellang arrived, They didn't etop for anything, and went right over the top of Us and at the Germans, Wo acted 48 mupports for them during this engagement, and tt was a treat to soe the way they went after them. Trench after trench they took with- out any letup. The Germans contest- ed every inch of the ground, but nothing could etop the Maple Leaf boys that morning. When the Ger- mans waited long enough for the fighting to come to close quarters, the Canadians were right there with the cold ateel, and when the Germans kept their distance those boys showed that they know which end of a rifle the bulley comes from., The Canadians had advanced about a mile in this way when the Germane brought up eome reinforcements and immediately started to counter tack. They drove us back a few hun- dred yards, but we made a i and after the edge had worn off t' German attack we commenced to ad- vance again, ‘This time there wae no denying the Canadians, and they went right through until they had retaken all the ground that had been lost. They al recovered four guns which the Ger- mans had captured, As nearly as I can toll, it was at this time that the reports began to fly around that no prisoners were being taken, This is an extremely dificult thing to epeak of. There is no doubt that on certain occasions both sides have refused to take any prisoners, but I would not ca place the responsibility of the begin- ning of the practice in any one par- tiewar place, There is no doubt of the fact that the Germans hate and fear the nadians, A pecullar thing happen soon after the Canadians #0 distin- guished themselves. A certain Eog- lish regiment received orders to take nome trenches at a given time, The officers of this regiment had the men fix thelr bayonets and stick them over the parapet of the trer minutes before the attack w made, They did ao, and ke ing thelr bayonets one aga! other and making an awful row grn erally. When the whistle blew a h several 8 to be clash t ar ung subaltern was the first man over the parapet, and he yelled at the top of hia volee, "Come on, Canadians!" This got the Germans’ goat, our fellowa took three linea of trenghes without losing a man.
