write to you but we have been through so much lately that a short account of doings will perhaps not come amiss Of course you have no doubt beard the main parts of our story from far abler pons than mine so I will try and cover the parts they missed been out hero now nearly fourteen months first twelve of which we spent in desolated carrying on a more or less dreary round of trench warfare during which time we fought two or three live ly actions notably St and Hodge which were notable for the mud and slush and general had weather conditions under which they were fought How ever they were ft mere to what was to About the middle of August was passed around that we were ordered to the This of course caused a ripple of excitement and I think llm change was generally welcomed There was polishing of arms and equipment and in a very short lime we were on our way We steered a very round about course and weo overjoy ed to catch a glimpse of the sea in tor wanderings After many a weary march we Anally arrived at the So una exactly a year from the we Aral landed in France We passed right IdcrneaUi the fatuous leaning statue at Albert of Hie Virgin Mary holding the child out at arms length It looked very human ami very liable lo fall oil us hut I understand thai it has been secured against falling It is a very- massive looking affair Disabled Canadian Soldiers Doing to Ability- set of men I never saw They listlessly banded the boys any souvenirs they happened to have but showed unmistakable pleas ure at the suggestion that they were off to Blighty and scorned anxious to get away from war which was now over for them All day long prisoners and wounded flowed back in a stream and I saw terrible cases which made one feci very sad that such things had to be and 1 thought of millions of men who have come out to this thing not because tlley wanted to but because there was a wrong to right and who are now undergo ing IhisfcarfuJ suffering with a stoicism that did not seem hu man Certainly the British Em pire will not fall so long as she has such men to stand by her By noon Hie first objective hav ing been reached and more or less organized the situation was such that a further advance was decided upon In the meantime we bad been busy extending our telephone lines to meet the new conditions and along about clock I saw a splendid sight Six- waves of infantry spread out in either direction as far as the eye could see were advancing to the attack They swept forward on Ihe disorganized as if oh parade anil before nightfall was safely In our bands Thus ended one of most glorious days in Canadas history Sad to say many a mother will mourn her son as a result of this splendid days work and lo my sympathy goes out with full understanding I trust they will take comfort from the fact hat their boys died doing tbeir duly as nobly as it was ever done in the history of the world We subsequently did further lighting of a more or less import ant nature and finally retired lo a less active part of the front Trusting this letter will And Newmarket- as prosperous as ever I would judge about feet high To resume we went into action almost immediately and after about a week of careful prepara tion the dawn of the famous 15th of September found us standing expectantly at our posts wailing for we knew what On Ibe way up we bad noticed terrible effects of the previous lighting and the ruins of towns which you would never know bad been towns unless you were told rows of vicious looking guns great and small we knew that Ibis terrible struggle was about resumed We had also heard many a tall yarn of lerriblo tanks which were used for Ihe lime that morning They bad passed up to the front line during the night when could get a good look at them so we were still in the dark as to whatthey really were How ever we saw them later In the day after they had rendered a very good account of themselves The attack was timed for and my watch must have been fast for I was wailing a full live min utes wondering why it did not start There bad consid erable shelling during the past few days he German artillery being active und three of us had Hie unpleasant experience of being in a barrage only the evening before from which we were mighty lucky to escape for we were in the midst of a terrific bail of shells for about fifteen minutes but as I said before it was all nothing t stalled up now The whole country seemed to be smothered A few minutes later Ihe sun burst through Hie mists in gorgeous splendor a happy omen of a day that was destined to make Canadians fa mous the world over I also no- Heed he moon still high in heavens arid I thought of of old who commanded the gun and moon to stand until he had beaten his enemies After about live minutes here was an almost lull in Hie firing This meant that they were lifting heir fire and that our hoys were making their glori ous charge which proved so suc cessful firing kept on as vigorous as ever scarcely a pause for lifting every few min utes ere to In more of be bigger guns in action now and one fell a fierce exultation that at last wo were our power ful enemy about minutes the first batch
