We lined 'out front of our billet with rifles and bayonets- (why you need rifle's and bayonets to take a bath gets me), a full quota of am- munition. and our tin hats. Each man had a pieceedf soap and a towel. After an eight -kilo march along a dusty road with an occasional shell whistling ov- erhead, we arrived at .a litle squat frame building upon, the bank of a creek. Nailed over the door of tis building was a largeesign which read, "Divisional Baths." In ta wooden shed in the rear, we could hear a wheezy old engine pumping . water. • We lined up in front Of the baths, soaked with perspiration, and. ailed our rifles into stacks. A Sergeant of the R . A. M. C. with a yellow band .37, round his left and on which. was P.

Thenretarting from the right of the line, he divided us into _squads of fifteen. I happened to be in the first squad. We entered a small room where we were given five minutes to undress then filed into the bath room. In here there were fifteen tubs (barrels saw- ed in two) half full of water. Each tub contaihed a piece of laundrie soap.

If "Holy Joe" 'could have heard our remarks about the divisional baths and army red tape, he would have fainted at our wickedness. But Tdmeny is only human after all.

Upon arrival at the entrance to the com- munication trench, I looked' at my illuminated -wrist-watch—it was 11 o'cock. Before entering this trench, word was passed down the line, "no \talk- ing, or smoking, lead off in ngle file, covering party first." This covering party consisted of thirty men, armed with rifles, bayo-, nets, bombs, and two Lewis machine guns. They were to protect us and guard us against a rurprise attack, while digging in No Man's Land. The corrununication trench was a- bout half a mile long, a zigzagging ditch, eight feet deep and three feet wide. Now' and again German shrapnel would whistle overhead and burst in our vicinity. We would crouch a- gainst the earthen walls while the shell fragments "slapped" the ground above us. Once Fritz turned loose with a ma- chine gun, the bullets from which "cracked" through the air and kicked up the dirt on top, scattering sand and pebbles, which, hitting our steel 'hel- mets, sounded like hailstones. Upon arrival in the fire trench an officer of the Royal Engineers gave us our instructions and acted as guide. We were to dig an advanced trench two hundred yards from the Germans • (the trenches a this point were sia hundred yards a,part.)i Two winding lanes, five feet wide, had been cut through our barbed wire, for the passage of the diggers. From these lanes white tae ,had -been , on the ground to the !point where we were to commence werk. This in or- der that we would not get lost in the darkness. • The proposed trench Was also laid out with tape. The covering party ,went out first. After a short wait, two scouts came back with information that the work- ing party was to follow and "carry on" with their work. - In extended order, two yards apart, we noiselessly crept Across No Man's Land. It was nervous work; every minute we expected a machine gun to open fire on us. Stray bullets "crackedeiround us or a ricochet sand overhead. Arriving at the taped diagram of the trench, rifles slung around our shoulders, we lost no time in getting to work. We dug as quietly as poss- ible, but every now and then, the noise of a pick or shovel striking a -stone, t the chaplain is. empty handed, would send the cold shivers down our and is at the Mercy of the enemy if backs.

It was six in the morning when we arrived at our rest billets, and we wereorllowed to sleep until noon; that is; if we wanted' to go without our breekfast. For sixteen. days we remained in rest billets, dig.ging. roads, drilling, and other fatigues, and. then back into the front line trench. Nothing happene,d that night, bat the /wit afternoon 1 found outithatte. bomber is general utility man in a sec- tion. About five o'clock in the , afternoon our Lieutenant came down_ the trench and stopping in front of a bunch of us on the fire step, with a bread grip on his face, asked: "Who is going to volunteer for uisL tening. post to -night? I need two men." It is needless to say no one volun- teered, because it is 'anything, but a cushy job. I began to feel uncom- fortable as I knew it was getting a- round for my' turn. Sure enough, with another grin, he said: "gmpey, Von and Wheeler earn dui; so come dawn into my dugout for in- structions at six o'clock." Just as he left and was going a- round a traverse, Fritz turned loose with a machine gun and the bullets ripped the sandbags right over his head. - It gave me great pleasure to see him duck against the .parapet. He was getting a taste of what' we Would get later out in front. . Then of course, it began to rain. I knew it was the forerunner of a miserable night for us. Every time I had to go out M front, it just nat- urally rained. Old Jupiter Pluvius must have had it in for me. At six we reported for instructions. They were simple and easy. All we had to do was to crawl out into No Man's Land, lie on our bellies with our ears to the ground and listen for the tap tap of the German engineers or gap- pers who might be tunnelling under No Man's Land to establish a mine- head beneath oar trench. Of course, in our orders we were told not to be captured by Germanipa- trols or reconnoitering parties. Lots of breath is wasted on the Western Front giving silly cautions. As s000 as it was dark, Wheeler and I crawled to our post which, was about half -way between the lines. It was. raining bucketsful, the ground was a sea, of sticky mud and clung - to us like glue.
