Bill Routledge's Experience ' Ariio'd riiurston, writing to his par- ents III Flesherton from England, says : I mot a woundeil .Artemesia boy the 'other day in the parson of Bill Uutledge otherwise known as " Moon' Bill enlisted at Lethbridge the morning war w ts declared, -Mid was driitled to the lOtli Irittalion. Ho was ill tho tienchis for u couple of months, but did not gut hurt until near the last 'of Apiil, at St . Julien. This is how it happened : His company was going out to the 'trenches one night >|uite late. It was very dark, but the Germans continually I sent u;j star shells and they wore ulso shilling the jidvancing Canadians inter- .initteDtly. Finally a piece of shrapnel 'struck Bill on the ankle and he plunKod forward into a pit mado by a "Jack 'Johnson." He rolled over and over down the steep sides of the {>it, and lauded ill a pool of muddy water at tho bottom, in which he lost hii title. Af'er crawling out of the water he went back agnin to get the ritl-, then crawled back once more to the side of the pit. II:s ankle was badly lorn and wiench- jud, so he was unable to walk, and i|uiie I unable to climb out of the pii-, which he said was about twenty feet deep. Nor could he make anyone hear him, so ihire was only one thing to doâ€" wait. Form â- lately his pack contained a tin of bully beef and a coufrle of pounds of hard bis- cuits, and there was plenty of water In the bottom of the pit. On this nieagro file he subsisted for five days and nights when the field ambulance finally located him, and he was taken back to hospital. Bill was not in any bayonet charges but says he I. as accounted for at least one German, which is more than thoy have done for him. This wis a sniper who was up a tree saveral hundred yards from the Canadian trench. The (ier- iiians continu'illy turned searchlights on the tienches, and this sniper was gelling r:it'ier loo many Canadians for comfort ; go the Captain ordered Bill out to get hiin. Tho latter left the trench, made a wide detour around the sniper to a wood Fall Fairs. Till) followiiio ate the dates of the fall fairs this year in 'he vicinity of Flesherton.
