E. Ellis, Alliston, Ont. His letter, dated May 6, continues: "Neither side appeared to intend any unusual attack save for the sul- len booming of hostile artillery; le fact we had just finished having our tea after playing baseball with tie - machine gun section of the Third Battalion of Toronto, and, although I am a little previous in my account. I shall add here that every one of the boys we played against were either killed or wounded by the same time next day. Ross Binkley, the great Argo Rugby player, pitched against us and George Cotton, whe played third, was killed, in fact all of them. "But, to continue, In the midst o' our repose after tea, just as a bol: from the blue, an aeroplane sped in swift circles overhead around ow lines, dropping flaming signals, tell- ing all was not well, and to ensure immediate mobilization of all re- serves, Among the quickly -gathered groups of soldiers, all eagerly dis- cussing the situation, dashed the swift motor cars of the British staff officers, ordering men to their billets at once, as the dread foe had pierced the allies' line and were advancing. Soon the magnitude of the danger and the reason for its sudden ap- pearance became evident by the panic-stricken Algerians, who, while dauntless against an honorable foe, were quite unable to withstand the dastard use of devilish devices. "Pride surged in our hearts when the streets rang with the hurried march of fearless Canadian soldiers, who were at last to have the chance to prove their worth. While dazed wide at the bend.

Men were lying with arms and legs liroken and we were setting the bones In splints while they merely ground their teeth and never mur- mured, But some of the sights were awful. One shall remain indelibly stamped on my memory for life. Picture, if you can, an automobile driven into our yard by a wounded chauffeur with two corpses for pas- sengers, one whose head had been literally blown off, and the other -I, hate to dwell on such memories so. shall hasten on. "Next night, or was it next, for they were all the same to us. Nights and days made no difference for we • did not sleep for 72 hours, about fifteen of us fellows went up. to St. Jean. We could not go as far as St. Julien this time, for the Germans were there, and arriving at St. Jean we could not find our officers, as they had been compelled to retreat, so being there without orders we were useless until Sergt. Owen, our most popular N.C.O., who was in charge, realized that the place was too hot for us, and that if we were not to be all killed we would either have to go on to the trenches, or back to the hospital, so he asked for volunteers to go up to the Brigade Headquar- ters to report for duty to act as regimental stretcher-bearers. Ne id - less to say every man stepped for- ward, and after crawling through fields, ditches and mud we arrived at Headquarters, not fifty yards be- hind the reserve trenches. Here we reported to Capt. Haywood, the medical officer of the 3rd Battalion of Toronto, and volunteered to go up to the trenches for wounded. He nearly threw his arms around us with pleasure, for practically all the Third Battalion stretcher-bearers had been cut up. "The first trip I made out, I went with one of the 2nd Battalion boys and we were headed for a barn where there was aa••R.. F. A. man who had been there 38 hours wound- ed. No person could get near him, French colonials broke madly down so we went up to the first line of one side of the Ypres road, the other trenches, *and, after they had pass - side was filled with batteries of Can- adian artillery galloping madly to the aid of their comrades of the line, who were even then engaging on- coming Germans with their thous- ands, and untrained as the soldiers of the first contingent were, as com- pared with the well -drilled batta- lions of the vaunted Prussian Guards, there flowed in their veins the same British blood which at many another time of crisis had spent itself willingly in gallant sac- rifice to stem the onslaught of foes, and well the world knows to -day to what advantage Canada's sons laid down their lives and suffered terri- bly, but succeeded in checking the sudden and terribly daugerous in- cursion of our asphyxiating enemy. "Perhaps it would interest you to know of our Third Field Ambu- lance's work. . It was just about 6 p.m. when the rabble of refugees was the greatest, and we, being an ambulance, and having a hospital at our disposal, soon had the hospital filled with wounded civilians, Alger- ians and French soldiers, some dy- ing and others far spent from the effects of the Germsn s' cowardly use of the most' poisonous of gases. All our doctors were busy, and the men likewise, to the accompaniment of the thundering of the cannon. "About 8 p.m, two of our motor ambulances were asked to go through Ypres for wounded. Major Templeton was going and although the Colonel forbade any men going two other fellows and myself asked the Major's permission, and he be- ing a good scout just smiled and said, 'Climb in the back where you won't be seen,' and in a few minutes we were traveling at break -neck speed through the night to the scene of the fighting, for to delay was dan- gerous. Shells were dropping all around the road and over head. Go, ing through Ypres, it was a veritable hell. The roar and whistle of 'Jack Johnsons,' 'Weary Willies,' and shrapnel was awful. Buildings on fire all around, dead horses, men, etc., made it a scene never to be for -0 gotten, and one such as the hardest of soldiers tries to forget. We pass-) ed safely through Ypres, St. Jean, Wiltshire, to St. Julien, where our advance dressing station was not 400 yards from the firing line. Here we found one of our officers, with about 20 men, in a deserted cafe with wounded lying everywhere in the rooms, and every one of them work- ing at the dressing of wounds, and literally covered with blood, while the Gernian artillery were systema- tically bombarding every house in the village. We lost no time in fill- ing our two ambulances with wound- ed and getting away. To remember details of that night and following two days is impossible, for It was a nightmare.

Perhaps you good people back home, sitting out on the verandah in cozy chairs as you read this, may think it sounds awfully easy, but if my heart was ever in my mouth and my toes shak- ing in my boots, it was then. Pic- ture, if you can, a cloudy night, and us crawling as flat as we could with German bullets flying one way and the British bullets flying the other way over you. One can crawl aw- fully close to the ground, and especi- ally when a star bomb goes up. Well, I can assure you you could not have pushed a cigarette paper be- tween my nose and the dirt, and be- lieve me, a statue had nothing on us for silence while those flares had burned down. It was only about 25 yards, and as we went we had to drag a stretcher behind us and roll dead Germans and British away from in front of us. "It was the longest 25 yards I ever made in my life and by the time we were back in the trenches with our patient we were surely en- titled to a few minutes rest, even though we were still in. danger. Af- ter carrying him through the wire entanglements between the first line and the reserve line of trenches we finally arrived at the dressing sta- tion. We made quite a number of trips afterwards and brought in a wounded German officer, and I can assure you he was no delicate speci- men of humanity, for he must have weighed 200 pounds, but we wasted little time with him and had very little sympathy for his groanings as we jostled him along on our should- ers. His buttons, cap, etc., we very soon took from him as souvenirs, but at that. we treated the German wounded far better than their bru- tality deserved. The last trip out I, along with J. Smith, had just got out a few yards when a couple of snipers must have seen us, for they began popping away at us, with the result that "Smithy" got erne in the hand and I had to get him back to the station. "Dawn found us back through the avenue of hell, minus one ambu- lance car and three wounded men. On Monday our little town was shell- ed, and having about 200 patients we had to carry them under shell fire across a field out of the danger zone, about a mile and a half. Dur- ing this, one of oar boys, Walter Smart, of Regina, was killed and several wounded, but we got all the patients safely away. After it was over we returned, and for two more days we worked in the hospital un- der intermittent shell tire, until fin- ally two shells landed plumb on the hospital and smashed it up, and then, as the remainder of the Cana- dians were being taken back for a rest, we went along back to a farm bebind 'Poperhinge where we slept, always the last, speaking literally, for two days to "That morning I was relieved make up for what we had come from niy ambulance car by a volute- through, The third night we march- teer from 13 Section, and went Into ed twenty-five miles up to the town the hospital to help out, for we had where we are to stay, possibly for a hundreds of wounded to dress, and month, awaiting reinforcements, mother if I ant spared to get back which I do hope Canada keeps send home again, you will never hear me ing, for Men are surely needed here, complain of any suffering after the and we fellows up here surely feel it sights I witnessed.
