We were holding part of the line sometime ago and at night we had to put out standing patrols in front of our trench line. _ One of these outposts was manned by five men most of them formerly of the old Grey Battalion. A patrol of Germans, 25 in number, made an attack on this post one night with the intention of capturing it in order to find out what battalion was holding the line in front of them, ~They were part of the famous Prussian Guards, one of the Kaiser‘s crack regiments, and they bravely attacked our little post. But something happened and the result was that they left five men dead, one of their number captured and several wounded. Not one of our men was hurt but the man who distinguished himself on that occasion and who by his coolness and bravery drove the Huns back was one of my platoon This is only one incident out of many that are happening all the time.‘" ‘"Everybody thought wé had done fine being all new men and our first experience and nobody near us tor about 300 yards It sure was some exciting but we did not mind it at all when we got started. You need not worry over it as a thing like that is not liable to happen in a year again." . Verne " It will be noticed that the fear of the Censor prevents Verne as it does Dobie from mentioning names. Inthe meantime Vernon will have the warm appreciation of his townsmen for his part of the affair. Lt. Dobie‘s account follows: "Four of us, three other of the boys out of the 147th and myself, I hear are recomâ€" mended for the military medal, but am not sure if it is true or not. Our corporal told us it was right. It was for a little stunt we pulled off when in the line last time. The four of us were out on outpost duty about 2 a. m., when along comes Fritz‘s patrol of 25 men. 1 guess they saw us, and before we knew they had us surrounded, and I guess were sure of us. But we were in shell holes and were hard to find when there are so many shellâ€"holes and also it being dark. _ We let them get right close to us and then we let them have it for sure. _ They came back a secâ€" ond time but got it again. We killed five or six, got a prisoner also, besides woundâ€" ing others. None of us were hit at all. Lieut. Dobie‘s account appears below On reading it in the Sun, Mr and Mrs C Elvidge recalled a letigr from their son Vernon, received some weeks ago, but which they had modestly withheld, and Verne‘s letter Under the above qnoted headline, Tast Friday‘s Owen Sound Sun gives prominâ€" ence to an incident, rélated to them by J. Milton Dobie, formerly associate editor where five Grey boys w&sted an attacking party of 25 Germans. They killed five of them, took one prisoner and the rest fled The attacking force was part of the Kaisâ€" er‘s crack regiment, the Prussian Guards, justifying Lt.
