formerly of georgetown as follows aug 18th j918 dear mothor and father life lately has been like a mov ing pioture to me i do not need to tell you the two great events my leave to paris and following close upon it tho big battle in whioh 1 picked this lovely blighty cables must be as oornmon as gar- don suss at the old home now i hope the offloial telegram did not worry you too much if you got one at all i sent one from hospital yesterday at rouen specifying that my wound was slight just to head off grief it is a beauty and tho lord on ly knows how it is i only got one when there were so many flying a- bout there was not even a blade of grass for cover and i was walkr ing upright wondering bow many more steps old fritz would let me take when bingo a inule kioked me as one might say and i was ij ing down feeling rather relieved i think and i could hear vpioos calling all around me stretcher bearer stretcherbearer mr pedloys bit i waved the sb book for it was no healthy place for anyone to be but became right on up across the open and dressed my wound then i brawled bock shook hands with capt jolliffe who was direoting operations from a shellhole about tfhroo inches doop and started to tho aid post a big shellhole accompanied by ono of thojnen this lad after soeing rue there returned to the front lino but was hit on tho way up and landed book at the aid post boforo i started on my long journey out yern armstrong too who was with me wheal got mine stepped one with his arm a few minutes later he caught me up at the aid post and wo wont dqwn together 1 saw him last night at rouen and he should roach eng land today my bullet slanted through mus cle at the book of tbe itfg about as high its the top of the putteo clean and nioe there will hardly boal soar after she heals know the differences- in uniform but they luv the s of b sides for a long time we had other troops in front of us and while that was the case the day seemed almost like a picnic oxcept that lurking parties of huns hidden hi the wood managed tq escape the first waves and kept their guns in action although their fire was rot ten and hit no ono because they must have been rattled in the end these nests would be dug out and gunners killed or taken ac cording ho the temper of tbe mou doing the job the first day we were merciful but not afterwards i came to u place where a tank had wiped out a position qt the eight fritzies there were seven dead and the remaining one not fur from it i gave him a drink and he took a lead ring from his finger for mo which i wear i also have the gold ring from tho finger of my corporal who was shot dead instantly while carrying u mg nest that sort of thing makes you cruel the second day 1 was out to kill any and nil i saw but fritz was too clevor i never got within revolver range of him othors were more fortunate fritz is a queer man ho fights bravoly especially when behind a machine gun at the crest of a hill we took many machine guns with the gunners dead behind their guns and yet he has no pride when bis work is done ho is a coward i stood at tho door of a dugout while men hunted out an officer who was hiding there he backed out of the narrow entrance and on raising his eyes looked down tbe muzzle of my cooked smith and wesson the look on his face was more than compen sation to me for all 1 have put up with in the army the whites of his eyes showed and he grovelled calling out mercy meroy i wanted to shoot him in disgust as i would hope anyone would aboot me or any canadian who would do that but i left him to the souvenir hounds and he is probably alive yet this souvenir business is a real part of a battle i find und it has a useful fuaotion i used to think it foolish but it has the power to relieve the strain of the tense mo ments to make a joke of tragic things you do not see the ghast ly death- face of a man you are too busy looking for his watoh dead and alive are searohod fifty times before the day is over amid much
