Windsor, from a hospi- tal where he was receiving treatment after having, his collar bone smashed, thus describes the battle of Mons. Although this battle was fought some time ago it still makes interesting reading:— "We advanced to a small village about five miles south of Mons and here we encountered one of the fierc- est battles which we were assisted in by the French and Belgians. From here we advanced to Mons under Gen- eral Smith-Dorrain where we had to fight just as bard and suffered defeat, the Germans pushing us back and our regiment suffered heavy losses. On the morning of that terrible day every man of us as fresh as a daisy, sprang to his gun at the sound of the trumpet and as we had witnessed some of the savages' outrages on women and chil- dren the day before. every man of us was bent on revenge, We fought a steady hard battle all day and as night fell we began to feel the effects of the Hun lead and were forced to beat a retreat, leaving many of our bravest behind, also some of our large guns. When a lull in the fighting came one could hear nothing but the wild screams of women as the Germans insulted and tortured them and the cries of the little children as the "caul - bats" butchered them when they dare ed to bold to their mothers. The dark night was lighted only by the burning churches and homes, which the Hune delight in' ae a mall boy delights in a bonfire. We made several desperate attempts to regain our position and were to a degree successful. The hung sent us a heavy cannonading and the gun on which brother )(Harry was working was completely shattered and the man on either side of him killed. Be Bald he could feel the vibration for a long time after. After a night never to be forgotten, just about the dawn, I got mine. My shoulder was smashed by a piece of shell, and I knew nb more Instil I was leaving the hospital for home, When 1 get well enough 1 will account for a few more Germans be- fore the war is over. Sergt, Dry. Harry Windsor writing to his brother Sergt, Will of the 1016t while lying on the bank of a river awaiting the arrival of the Turks says --"The heat is intensive, 110 to 115 at noon time and spring has only opened up, so goodness known what the shimmer will be like. Hope to ties you over here soon; it is now several years since 1 saw you last." Sergt. Windeor has also a abort tetter from hie brother, Lieut. Jae., stating that he is back on duty and feeling not much the worse, At the time of writing he is on guard duty on the Suez °anal, end says ---"A scrap le badly needed to liven things up a bit."
