There are ao many instances of heroic deeds performed under fire in rescuing the wounded that it would take several books to chronicle them, hut I have to mention one instance performed by a chaplain. Captain Hall by name, In the brigade on our left, 'be- -' cause it particularly appealed to me. A chaplain is not afightlng man ; he Is recognized as a noncombatant and carries no arms. In a charge or trench raid the soldier gets a feeling of confidence from contact with his rifle, revolver, or bomb he is carrying. He has something to protect himself with, something with which he can lpfllct harm on the enemy In other words, he Is able to get, his own back. Bat the chaplain is and Is at tlye mercy of the enemy if he encounters them, so it Is doubly brave for him to go over the top, under fire, and bring in wounded. Also a chaplain la not required by the kings regulations to goover in a charge, but this one did, made three trips under the hottest kind of fire, each time returning with a wounded man on his back. On the third trip he received a bullet through hts left arm, but never reported the matter to the doctor until late that night Just spent his time administering to the wants of the wounded lying on stretchers. The chaplains of the British army are a fine, manly set of men, and are greatly respected by Tommy. empty-hande- two hundred yards from the Germans (the trenches at this point wer six hundred yards apart). Two winding lanes, five feet wide, had been cut through onr barbed wire, for the passage of the diggers. From these lines white tape had been laid on the ground to the point where we were to commence work. This in order that we would not get dost in the darkness! The proposed trench, was also laid out with tape. The covering party went out first After a shgrt wait, two scouts came back with Information that the working party was to follow and carry on" with their work. In extended order, two yards apart, we noiselessly prept across No Mans Land. It was nervous work; every minute we expected machine gun to open fire on us. Stray bullets cracked" around us, or a ricochet sang overhead. i Arriving at the taped , diagram of the trench, rifles slung around our shoalders, we lost no time In getting to work. We dug as quietly as possible but every now and then the noise of a pick or shovel striking a stone would send the cold shivers down our backs. Under our breaths we heartily cursed the offending Tommy, At intervals a star shell would go up from the German lines and we would remain motionless until the glare of Its white light died out When the trench had reached a depth of two feet we felt safer, because it would afford us cover In case we were discovered and fired digging had been In progress about two hours, vheu suddenly hell seemed to break loose In the form of machine-gu- n and rifle fire. We dropped down on our bellies in the shallow trench, bullets knocking on.-Th- d, mmm Picks and Shovels. I had not slept long before the sweet voice of the sergeant informed that No. 1 section had clicked for another blinking digging party."- - I smiled to myself with deep satisfaction. I bad been promoted from a mere digger to a member of the Suicide dab, and was exempt from all fatigues. Then came an awful shock. The sergeant looked over in my direction and said: Dont yon bomb throwere think you are wearing top hats out here. 'Cordin to orders youve been taken up on the strength of this section, and will have to do your bit with (he pick and shovel, same as the rest of us." I put up a howl on my way to get my shovel, but the only thing that resulted was a loss of good humor on my part Trench Digging. up the ground and snapping In the air. Then shrapnel butted In. The music was hot and Tommy danced. The covering party was having a rough time of It; they had no cover; just had to take their medicine. - Word was passed down the line to bent It for our trenches. We needed no urging; grabbing our tools and stooping low, we legged It across No Mans Land. The covering party got away to a poor start but beat us In. They must have had wings because we lowered the record. Panting and out of breath, we tumbled into our front-li- n trench. I tore my hands getting through our wire, but, at the time, didnt notice It; my Journey was too urgent. . When the roll was called we found that we had gotten it in the nose for C3 casualties.
