wounded right near .me and I stop-
ped to bandage him, I had just got
the bandage in my hand when a shell
exploded right over our heads .and. a
piece of shrapnel about an inch
square went rid bt ehrough my left
hand,. We then went into a dugout
and got our wounds dressed. It was
about 3.15 pane .when 1 got hit and
I stayed in 'the dugout until 11,30 at
night :when I volunteered to take a
few of the other fellows who could
walk land led them to the ambulance
bus las I was the only one that knew
the way, and .taking things easy, as
we had lost a lot of blood. We reach-,
cd the ambulance about 2.30 in the
morning as it was about four miles
and was then hurried to the hospit-

attaok as he went out with a bruised
arm the day before and was sent.

was told that Jack l.[ogarth wets kail-,

Well I thank God that I got off
with as little as this it its doing as
!nicely 'as could be expected. I was
operated on yesterday and am able to
be :around to -day, but I don't think
I wi;tl be able to handle a rifle in

Dear Father;
! 'Well I'm getting adapted to Eng-
lish sways and scenery, It in cert-
ainly beautiful in the old +country.
I had an excellent trip on the
way over, I believe I wrote you from
the maritime provinces a description
in brief of the early palrt of ite
The ocean voyage over was as
smooth as .could be expected,. Itl was
rough on Sunday the first and the
previous Saturday. we we're off the
continental shelf and in the deepest
water of our trip. The rain, however,
t calmed the sea.
The shores or Ireland, N. E. were
perfectly grand , I don't know
that I ever saw anything so bean-
,tiatull in all my life. The shores were
very rolling in fact at times could be
termed ragged. Yet the tenacious
Irishmen bad built homes in places
on the hillside where one :could hard -
13 expect animals abte to exist. not
that. they weren't productive, yet in
Canada. +up sa f'ar en one we g,
associate else idea of inproduotivity
with it. The damp climate and mod-
erating effect of the hills and Gulf
Stream. made grass and trees grow
on almost bare rocks. In fact in mans
many places, even the rooks were
green, probably too with moss. There
is evident reason why it should be
called the Emerald Isle. From the
ships ,yon could see every fieldmark-
ed out with hedges or stone ellen
grown green, each one varied in col-
ors of green according to what had
grown there or what was ',here be-
fore. You could even distinguish the
ploughed 'ground and turnip patches.
The 'little whitewashed Irish. eat-
tages .caught my eye. ',could atmos;;
fancy I could see the Irish dog cart
crawling the cabbie -stoned road,
which in one place in particular wound.
over the crest o.E a most beautifully
colored hill, I mean here and elev-
ation of neerer two thousand feet than
one thousand feet. Some of :the vale
lays for natural andrural beauty
were 'hard to excel. They reminded
me somewhat of the .Niagara .Penin-
sula viewed fiomn above the maunta.n
England, however, is 'certainty won-
derful. In our trip across it we pass
ed through the central industrial
portion,. We touched such points as
Liverpool, Tamworth. Stafford, Lel-
oestershire and the famous place: of
Rigby and (harrow. Passing tiero sgh
Oxfordshire eve passed through Isub-
« n ban London. as far as Kensington,
and from ta3ere to our destination.
We bad to march from Shorncliffe,
station about two m`_les or more thr-
ough rain and a gale to our ramp
at 030 .pan. land then sleep' there in
tent. However, we're in the army I
suppose.
English town impressed by th,? elo e
Hess 'af the houses. They are called
rows. There are many chimneys, and
out or each one comes two or three
smaller ones with notched tops often
You see nearly every English room
has a fire -place. To approach a
town, !chimneys are about the first
you see. a real forest of them. Red
burnt:brick is ,by :far the masa favor-
ite in the part I saw, i. e. a little
darker and: redder than the St. Mary's
station. Grey buildings are found too.
Man's houses in Toronto in the St.
Claire Ave. section are built after the
pattern of these red brisk buildings.
The architecture of each one as a
rule is very uniform. That is a cer-
tain 'color and type of building seem-
ed to penetrate throughout, with a
little vaiation in size.
in the northern part of England
the houses seemed to have no back-
yard at all., At nears' they were co'e
bled stone there. and it only seemed
a smaller street !rather than a back-
yard,
hedges bre a great favorite with
the tknglishman both in cities and
country. In fact in rural parts I saw
very aew wooden or wire fecnes. The
hedges are better for jumping in
home. I was surprised that they were
