The division to which my battery is attached was at once sent up north to sup- port them, but by the time we got there the situation had al- ready been saved by the Canad- dians. I believe that on~the day the French had to retire. the. gap which the Canadians filled was so broad that to fill it they had to employ A.S.C. drivers. sappers and any departmental troons they could lay hands on under the command of staff officers.
