Nothing ordinary for him, like mere-

over the teacher's chair, then left the

Remember how you used to feel the

excitement of the holidays, the ne-
oessity of doing school work, and
somewhere between the two you got

To make' matters even worse,
across the fieldscame the sound of•
German infantry apparently ° about to
launch a counter-attack.,The Cana-
dians only hope lay in imediate help
from their .artillery. '
It was not long in coming and its
accuracy Was, deadly. It bi'olce up the
enemy infantry attack immediately
and before long 'it 'was chasing the
tanks around the 'field.
A lucky shot by the Germans kill-
ed the -Canadian artillery representa-
tive almost at.the start of the en-
counter but Platoon Commander.-
Lieut.
ommanderLieut. Gilmour used to be an artillery-
man himself and he directed the fire
personally until the arrival of Major
R. Archibald, of Prince Arthur Ave.,
Toronto.
So accurate was the fire that••eheljs
were dropped on points within .fifty
yardsof CPI. Atchison's farm house
without mishap. At the house today
the corporal showed • me how close
the tanks” had come to him..,
. "Right at that line of trees," he
said; 'and pointed across a single field.
As a' matter of fact, Glengarry infan-
try was stalking warily through' the
trees ' at the 'time and -the corporal
ex hied a patrol had just been sent
off• to winkle Gerrniiii out of their
trenches. All day yesterday and to-
day they have •been appearing, leav-
ing their trenches with guts held oy-
er' their heads and crying in English;
"good• comrades come to surrender."
"It's a lot different now from the
other night," the corporal said.
It was the noise. of. the tanks that
gave away their positions last night
and enabled Lieut. Gilmour and i\ ajor
Archibald'to pinpoint therm. The sec-
tion in the farm house would hear the
tank engines roaring like mad for a
minute, then.. ,they would be silent
while the shells fell.
' In the end, the 'tanks all got away
to the westward in the direction of
'Emmerich, but what looked like •a
dangerous counter-attack had been ef-
fectively broken up.
"After we heard them go out of
'earshot ,we ,reduced 'air hundred per
cent stand to fifty per cent," the new
colonel o4 the Glengarrians 'told me.
"But just the same I don't think many
of us got much- sleep that night." '
• There is a sequel to•the story. The
next• afternoon the scout platoon was
sent out again to Offenberg Castle.
Sgt. Cecil Oderkerk, of dhry's`ler, Ont„
led the patrol this trine, accompanied
by Cpl. Lloyd Greenly, of Warkworth,
brit, Mid' " Pts. Ernest Bissonette; of
Brockville. -
