No. 4. Shifted to

Sergeant UeClintook U OH Amtricc*
boy of Lexington, Ky., who has teen
service in Frarux, wot dcooratcd ftr |
bravery, wounded, Invalided homo cmd ]
now is returning to accept a commit
sion. Thin is the fourth article in the
series. In the first article he toU of
his training up to the point where he
reached the front line trenches. In the
second he outlined the elaborate prepa-!
rations for a bomb raid, and in the1
third the disastrous raid teas described. '
A FEW days after the bombing
raid, which ended so disastrous
ly for us, our battalion was re
lieved from duty ou the front line, and
the tip we got was that we were to go
down to the big show then tatiag
place on the Soinme. Our relief was
a division of Australians. Tou see,
the sector which we had held In Bel
gium was a sort of preparatory school
for the regular fighting over In Fran on. j
It wasn't long before we got into
what you might call the big league
contest, but in the meanwhile we had i
a little rest from battling Fritz and
the opportunity to observe some things
which seem to me to be worth telling
about. Those of you who are exclu
sively fjud of the stirring detail of
wur, such as shooting aud being ahot
at and bombing and bayoneting, need
only skip a little of this. We bad aa!
entirely satisfactory amount of smoke
and excitement later.
As soon as our reuer Daiiauon uau
got In we moved back to Poperinghe
for a couple of days' rest We were • j
pretty contented and Jovial lot, our:
platoon especially. We were all glad to
get away from the strain of holding ft .
front trench, and there were other ad
vantages. For Instance, the altera
tions of our muster due to casualties
had not come through battalion bead
quarters, aiid therefore we had In oor,
platoon sixty-three rum rations night
and niurulug aud only sixteen men.
It Wm Good Clean Fighting. Nehedy
Fired • Shot.
There was a Canadian 8cot in our
crowd who said that the only word
which described the situation was
"K-r-r-r-a-nd.'"
There was a good deal of jealousy at
that time between the Canadians and
the Australians. Each had the same
force in the field—four divisions. Ei
ther force was bigger than any other
army composed exclusively of volun
teers ever before assembled. While I
belong to the Canadian army and be
lieve the Canadian overseas forces the
finest troops ever led to war, I must
say that I have never seen a body of
men so magnificent in average physique
as the Australians. And some of them
were even above the high average. Tfce
man that punched me in the eye in an
"Vstamina" in Poperinghe made op en
tirely in his own person for the ab
sence of Les Da rev from the Austra
lian ranks. I don't know just how the
fight started between the Australians
and us tn Poperinghe. but I know that
it took three regiments of imperial
troops to stop It The most convincing
story I heard of the origin of the bat
tie was told me by of owe mea,
who eald be wa# there when it began.
He said one of the Aostnillans bad
carelessly remarked that the British
generals had decided It was time to
ret through with tbe Mdeebow Id Bd
ClQin, and this was toe tttMB why
they bad acct regular twop» 14# tbe
Australians In to relleyetbe CWflrttoH.
Tbeo some sensitive Pawliao wish
ed tbe Australians luck «id hoped
they'd finish it up as well as they bad
the affair la the Dardanelles. After
that oar two days' feet was made op
principally of beating it out of esta
mlnas whan strategic requirements
suggested a new base or beating U into
e*t*wtaw when it loobad as if we
coald act M efficient re-enforcement*.
That light never stopped for forty-elgbt
hours, and the only places tt didn't
Include were tbe church end the hos
pitals. I'll bet to tbis day that the
Belgians who ran tbe efiUmkiag in
Poperteghe will duet bsfeind tbe hart
If you juat mention Canada «ud Aus
tralia to (be sab>» breath.
But I'm hound to say that It was
good, clean lighting, Nobody Osed a
shot, nobody pulled a bayouet, jmd no
body got the wrong Wca about any
thing. The Australlun heavyweight
champion who lauded on see went
right out la tbe street and saluted one
of oar lieutenant* We bad Just one
satisfying reflection after tbe fight wu
over—the Australian baftaBop that re
lieved us fell heir to the epuutersttack
which the Germans sent across to even
np on our bombing raid.
Dourn to the Scnpree,
We began oar waFcb to ttie Somme
by « hike to St. On»er, the Orst Brit
M> headquarters io Europe. Theo we
stopped for a week about twenty to!lea
from Calais, where we underwent a
course of intensitied training for open
fighting. The Infantry tactics, in
which we were drlllod, were very simi
lar to those of t&e United State# army,
those which, to fact, v«n» orlgioated
by the United Stuiaa troops is the days
of Indian fighting. We covered most
of the ground around Calais on par
stomach* la open order. While It Okay
•eem iwpwttoegt tor me. a mere poa
co«, to expepw an opinion ahoat the
larger affairs of the campaign, 1 think
| may he excused for sa/lug that the
war didn't at all take the course which
was expected and hoped for after the
igltt on the SoiDUia UadovbUdly the
allies expected to br«alc through the
German line. That Is well known now.
While we were feeing trained near Ca
lais for open warfare o rery large
farce of e«v»iry was being assembled
and prepared for the aame purpose. It
was never used.
i.n« KM AO BMW, BUQ ukj auira
haven't l»okwi through yot Even
tually I believe they will break
through, but In my opinion men who
are drawn for service In the first
half million of our new American
army will be veteran* In Europe be for*
the big break comes which will wreck 1
the Prussian hope of success in this
war. And If we of the D. 8. A. don't
throw in the weight to beat the Prus
alans now they will not be beaten, »A
in that case the day will not be very
far distant when we will hav« to beat
them to save our bomea fcud our na
tion. War is a dreadful and inglorious
and ill smelling and cruel thing. But
if we hold back now we will be in the
logical position of a man hesitating to
go to grips with » drunken, savage,
shrieking, gpewtng maniac who has an
fetti whipped his proper keepers and is'
going after the onlooker. However, 1 ■
wish we bad bad two months more of
weather on the Somme. There might
have been a different story to tell.
Simplified Medicinev
We got drafts of recruits before we
weut to the Somme, and some of pur
wounded men were sent back to Eng
land, where we bad left our "safety
first battalion." That Was really the
Fifty-first battalion of the Fourth di
vision' of the Canadian forces, cam
posed of the physically rejected, men
recovering from wounds and men in
jured in training The Tommies, how
ever, called it the "safety first" or "Ma
jor Gilday's Light infantry." Major
Gild ay was our battalion surgeon. He
was immensely popular, and he achiev
ed a great name for himself. Be made
one realize what a great personal
force a doctor ean be and what an qd
necesaary elaboration there is in the
civil practice of medicine.
Under Major Gilday's administration
no man In our battalion was sick if he
could walk, and if be couldn't walk
there was a reasonable suspicion that
be was drunk. The major simplified
medicine down to an exact science pf
two forms of treatment and two rem
edies—"number nines" and whale dL
"Number nines" were pale oval pills,
which, if they had been eggs, wo*ld
hare run about eight to an omelst
tor six persons. They had an internal
e&ct wMcJi <?onJ(J only be doflned as
dynamic. After our men bad becomo
acquainted with them through personal
experience they stopped calling them
"number nines" and called them
"whix-bangs." There were only two
possibilities of error under Major Oil
day's system of simplified medicine.
One was to take a whir-bang for
trench feat and the other to use whale
oil externally tor some form of diges
tions 1 hesitancy. And In either case
no permanent barm could result, while
the error w«« a* simple of correction
as the command "about face." Blighty
was therefore not very popular with
our battalion, bllghty being the trench
name fo; the.hosnltaL
