Ir a large draft from the old 46th
arol that our company has been p it
into the bah a Toronto •and Ham-
ilton regiment, which has been la.
action. for, five month. WE were
pleased to leave 'Bramshott. tit.) igh
did not like to ;see our 4.t1i broken
up. No offIce_rs ro N. C. C.'s c.are
with us ,and it was, hard on SOMe
of thein to ;see us go. After a very
rough night on board a :smll troop
ship, which was crowded SO -ME, we
were glad to hit land, again and after
a very tedious, though intereting,
march, we found ourselves at' the
Crr.adian Base. A one day's stay here
showed. US LhE worderfal efficiency
of the men in c'harge and the facilities
for equipping Inspecting and chipping
men is wonderful. Oar party wee
lucky to obtain fairly good. accore.
dation on the fast moving troop
tr,ain which carried us through a
beautiful well tilled country, where.
the people .seerred very contented,
though very fe w youn_g rren are to
be seen. I3ut the old men tz.ke the
:pots band look very fierce with their
lor.g blue coats and &till longer bayo-
nets doing their bit gua,rding Goverra
trent property while the women do
their Ishare in the fields. After two
days' journey, we could note a 'Ola
f,. tune in the country aad people and
here and there a buidling which looked
to have been, pounded, by a huge han
m.er until j even its owner, might
have trouble in, recognizing it, told
its own story -the Huns. At our dEs-
tina.tion We -were net •by an officer
of our battalion, who took us to
camp and, as darkness came on we
could see away to our front, the
illurrination and hear th E thunder of
guna, and bae we watched the light
rr ultiplied band artilkry roared, and
ome one s,aid, "We have got Fritz
'sca.rod, see all the flares he 13 put-.
ting up,' and, I have ,since found out
th.at the hotter the bombard.ment, the
more flares or star Shells, Fritz
to protect hirraelf a,n,-d give himselfi
confidence. In this earp we etayed
for 'several days before rroving "up
the tine" where we took our tern
in supports, front line, excursioas Ir to
ino rrants land working partie. etc.
Comparatively speaking, we had. an
easy dire that time up; 50 said the
olckr tnen but to us new men, It
was quite warm enough at times.
and though not at all in love with
dugout life, they sure look good
when the bullets Whistle, ba.nd a whole
lot better when the shells fly. One
of the finest things Is toSl'e the
way the rations come up, very sel-
dom do they miss. ,a_rol I can tell
you it means a lot oZ work to sapnly
a front line. When, our tarn came
to be relieved. every one was ready
to get out and get back where Fritz
is rot quite so busy. At present, we
have grand apartments, the beet for
some. titre. We have a etable and
ritra.w for a bedand are on a reef
out of range and -sould of guns.. As
