It || must have been about six or seven o'clock when I arrived at the 5th Battalion Headquarters, which were in 2 deep German dug-out. The Col- onel was absent at a conference, so the Adjutant was in command, I told Cigarettes and her. comforts for the ed hinr for a' runner to take me to the front line. He abso- lutely refused to do anything of the kind, as he told me he did not know where they were himself. tion was most obscure. Our men had he thought they were now in shell- holes and would be hard to find. In fact, he was most anxious about the the Colonel would soon return. | asked him if he would like me to spend the night there. would, so I determined to settle down and wait for an opportunity of get- ting up to the men. "The Germans Are Coming." I went over to a trench a little way out, passing two dead Germans as 1 with the red cross on it which show. ed that a dug-out there was used as the regimental aid post. I went down into it and found the M.O. and his staff and a number of machine- gunners in the place, which had two openings. Being Sunday, I told them that I would have service for them. We all sat on the floor of the long dug-out. us all the light we had, and the cigar- ettes which I had brought with me were soon turned into smoke. In the meantime a young stretcher-bearer unknown to me made a cup of tea and brought that and some buttered toast for my supper. When I hag finished, we were just going to begin the service, when a voice suddenly shouted down the steps in excited tones. "We've all got to retreat; the Germans are coming." At once a corporal shouted up to him, "Shut up, none of that talk out here." Of course, I had not said a word to any of the men about the condition oi our front line, but remembering what the Adjutant had told me about it, I thought now that thére might be some reason for the alarm, As I have said ona former: occasion, I had a reat objection to being bombed in a dug-out, so I said to the men, "Well, boys, perhaps we had better take it seriously and go up and see what the matter is." e climbed up to the trench and there on looking over the parapet we saw an exciting scene, It was not yet dark and in the twilight we could see objects at a certain dist- ance, but it was just light ensugh and dark enough to confuse one's vision. Along the line to the right of our front trenches, rockets and S.O.S. signals were going up, showing that the Germans were attacking. Our ce- serve battalions were far back at Cherisy and our artillery had not yet come up. At any rate, somewhere in the glimmering darkness in front of us the Germans were advancing. They actually did get between us and our front line. The machine-gunners at once went to their posts, and the M.O. wanted orders as to what he and his staff were to do. I went back down the trenches past the dead Ger- mans to Battalion Headquarters, and asked the Adjutant what orders he had for the M.O. He said that we were all to congregate at Headquarters; so I went back and gave the message. I remember looking over the waste of ground and wondering if I could Joe the Germans. For a time it was really very exciting, especially for me, because I did not know exactly what I should do if the Germans came. I could not fight, nor could I run away, and to fold one's arms and be taken captive seemed too idiotic. All the time I kept saying to myself, "I am an old fool to out here." Still, we got as much fun out of the situation as we could ,and, to our intense re. lief the arrival of some of our shells and the sudden a; nce of a High- land Battalion of the 4th Division on our left frightened the Germans and they retired leaving us to settle down once more in our trench home. The Usual "Glorious Roar." On the return of the Colonel, we learned that, on account of the heavy losses which the 8th Battalion had suffered that day, the 7th Battalion would attack the following morning. ter on in the evening 1 saw some ite-gunners coming up, who told us that they had left some wounded and a dead man in a trench near the road.

The | torning air was sweet and fresh af. ter that of the dug-out, but was A beautiful dawn was tinctly against the gray-blue of the sky. At five o'clock the barrage started and there was the usual glori- ous roar of the opening attack. Very quickly the Germans replied, and shells fell so unpleasantly near that once again we crowded into the dug- out. After a hasty breakfast of bacon and tea the battalions moved off, and I made my way to the front. I saw an officer of the 7th Battalion being carried to the M.O.'s dug-out. He was not badly hit, and told me he was just back from leave and had been married only a fortnight ago. 1 shook hands with him and congratu- lated him on being able to get back to Blighty and have a wife to look after him. He was being carried by some Germans and had two of our bearers with him. I went down into a communication trench and the next instant a shell burst. I did not know then that anybody had been hit by it, but I learnt afterwards that the officer, the stretcher-bearers and the Germans had all been killed. I made my way to a mud road, where to my infinite delight I saw large numbers of German prisoners being marched back. By the corner of a wood the 8th Battalion were waiting their turn to advance. To the left was the hill called The Crow's Nest, which our 3rd Brigade had taken that day. I crossed the Hendi- court-Dury road, which had trees on both sides of it, and then meeting the 2nd Battalion went forward with them. There were some deep trenches and dug-outs on the way which our units at once appropriated and, which became the headquarters of two of our Brigades. Our artillery had also come up and their chaplain was with them. he C.O. of the 7th Battalion was having breakfast in the corner of a field, and feeling very happy over the result of the morning's work. Far off we could see the wood of Cagni- court, and beyond that, in the dist- ance, we could see other woods. 1 went off in the direction of Cagni- | court and came to some German huts, | where there was a collection: of mili- | tary supplies. Among them was a large anti-tank rifle. As it had be- gun to rain, I was very glad to find some German waterproof sheets which I put over my shoulders as I was eating my bully-beef. Cagni court lay in a valley to the right, and when I got there I found a battery of artillery had just arrived and were taking up their positions by a road which led on to Villers-Cagnicourt. We were all in high spirits over our fresh achievement. n some dug- out on the way I found the head- quarters of the 13th and 4th Bat- talions and learnt of the very gallant deed of the Rev. E. E. Graham, the Methodist chaplain attached to the 13th Battalion. He had carried out, under the fire of the barra, e, five wounded men of the 2nd Division, who had been left in No Man's Land. He was recommended for the Vic- toria Cross, but unfortunately for some reason. or other, only ot the DS.O. In a trench near illers- Cagnicourt I found the 4th Battalion who told me that they thought our advance "was checked. I sat talking to them for some time, but was so tired that I absolutely could not keep awake, The men were much amused to see me falling asleep in the midst of a conversation I managed, how- ever, to pull myself together, and went over to the main Cherisy road, Ea on the side of which one of our am- bulances had taken tp its position | and was being attended by one of our military chaplains. I was feel ing so seedy by this time that I got a lift by the side of the driver on a horse ambulance, and made my way to Cherisy. Tha road was narrow waed With traffic. and had by shells. Quite a number of ies were lying by the wayside. I arrived back at my billet in Arras in the evening feeling very tired.
