R' LIFE IN THE TRENCHES { Personals •..,.wwwvvwvwww•f Interesting Letter Describing Journey to the Front En route for the trenches Somewhere in France Dec. 10, 1010 Dear Mother and Father : Well, you will see by this that I have got started at last for the trout. I wrote a 'lard yesterday at noon but I don't know whether you will get it any sooner than this letter or not, The mails, they say, are very irregular in this country, so don't feel anxious if you don't get mail regularly. I have not got any mail yet, but we heard it was up the line hero waiting for us, so I guess we will get it in two or three days. We left the base last night about t3 o'clock and had to march six miles to a railway station with full packs. We got our steel helmets yes- terday. We also got leather jackets toput over our tunics under our over- coats. They haveno sleeves but they are certainly a great help to keep out the cold. We also bave our gas he1- mete. We got to the station o'clock about b and got in our care there. Some went in box cars but i happened to get in a coach, although I think it would be more comfortable in,the box cars, be- cause you could lay down somehow in them. The coaches are more like the English cars, only they crowd them more. You have to sit up all the time and you hardly find room foryour feet amongst the kite on the flame We left the station about half past two in the morning and crawled along ata enail's pace all night. I don't think we got very far because we had to stop every tette while and wait fee trains to pass ue. Ids about ten o'clock now and we haven't moved five miles since daylight. We expect it to take us all day today, all night and part of tomorrow to get as far as the train goes. They say we have a two days' march tb go after that, but I don't know whether it is true or not. I hope not. Diy feet' are all swollen now. Well, as I didn't have any sleep last night, I think I will close now. Will write more latex. Oh yes, while 1 think of it, I was down in the Y. M. C. A. the other night. Two London Free Presses dated Nov. 15th and 16,h were on the table but I could not find any mention of Huron county in it. Send me the Advance wbenever you can. I meant to tell you to do so be- fore, but I could never remember it when I was writing. Dec. 22nd—Nell, you will see by this it is Friday and we have at last arrived directly behind the firing line. Tuesday we rode on the train till about noon and got off for a few hours and then got on again and rode till late the day. da . We then got out and had to walk with our packs about 4i miles to a village, where we put up for the night. The next morning we again set out and.marohed all day and got to the battalion base about six o'clock, where we had our supper. Most battalions stay here a week any- way, nyway, but we bave just 'been warned that we have to move to the front bne trenches right away tonight., That is about seven more miles to go and I am so tired I can hardly move now. I don't know when I will,be able to poet this letter, as they are lining up now. Must say good-bye for now. Dec, 28th—Well, you will see by this it is past Xmas and I'm still in the trenches, and still alive end feeling fine. The nigbt we left the battalion base we marched about four miles on a road, and then had to march 3..miles in winding muddy trenchee. Bo lieve me I was.. tired when I got there. We got there safely without anyone being hurt and spent the night in a dug out, sitting up all night. 'There were two ptat,00ne in one small dug out and we had only room to sit up. The next morning another fellow and myself, at about seven o'clock were put on duty out in a sap. A rap is a trench that extends out from the front line trenches toward the German treuches and is used for observation of enemy. We looked through a peels. cope by turns all day till we were re• 'loved about five o'clock that night. The first day wasn't very exoiting and we got through it safely. I was the first Wingham boy of the 101st to be out on sap duty. It's mostly a very dangerous job as we found out the next day. We didn't get very much sleep that night and went on duty again the next morning, which was Sunday. The 'morning passed quietly but in the afternoon the Germans, or Feltz as they call them, started to throw quite a few' shells, galled "eau- sagee" by us. You can hear them coming and sometimes see them In time to dodge to safety, but it keeps you busy when there'd about a dozens in the air at once. They go up and ceene pretty nearly straight down. They go off when they, hit the ground and shrapnel flies all over. Well Sunday afternoon they were flying over us all around and believe me it kept us sweating to keep out of their road.
