When in the reserve trénch we were told to dig seats and make ourselves comfortable. A fel- low by the name of Woods sat with me, and he was hit on the head with a plece of shiapne] and left the trench, so Corporal Hicks, a Kings- ton lad, sat with me, Connolly and a fellow named Smith (1 do mot know where his home is) and Shaul- | der, from Brockville, sat on the bot. | tom of the tremch, which was fully six feat deep, when a high explosive {shell burst beside us and buried the five of us up. Hicks and I were sitting up, and that is all that saved us, Poor Connolly and Smith were dead 'when rescued. "We passed through, three dress- ing stations, including Dr. Ross', and was talking te him and Sergt. Armstrong. I have a smal bone in my left ankle broken'and other inju- ries. 1 owe my life to Jim' Hart, from Edmonton, who dug me out. Sergt. Edwards, Victoria street, and Corporal Urquhart, Portsmouth, car- ried me about forty feet, when an. other shell partly buried Urquhart and myself. Capt. Richardson and Capt, Guttman are wel."
