Sergeant McCXlntock is an American
boy of Lexington, Ky., who has seen
service in France, was decorated for
bravery, wounded, invalided home and
now is returning to accept a comntU
sion. Q'hix is the second article in the
series. In the first article he describ
ed his training up to the point where
he reached the front line trenches.
WUEN wo took our position tn the
from line trenches In Belgium
wo relieved the Twenty-sixth
Canadian battalion. Scouts from that
organization came back to the Tillages
of Dlnklehuscb and Rennlnghelst to
tell us how glad they were to see ua
and to show us the way In. As we
proceeded overland, before reaching
tbe communication trenches at the
front, these scouts paid us tbe hospita
ble atteutlou due strangers—that is,
one of them, leading a platoon, wonhi
say:
"Next 200 yards in machine gun
range. Keep quiet, don't run and be
ready to drop quick if too are warned."
There was one scout to eaeh platoon,
and we followed him single file, most
of tbe tlmo along road9 or well worn
paths, but sometimes through thickets
and ragged fields. Every now and then
tbe scout would yell at us to drop,
and down we'd go on oor stomachs,
wlifle away off In tbe distance we
could henr the "put-put" of mneblne
guns, the first sound of hostile firing
that had ever reached our ears.
"It's nil right," said the scout
"They haven't seen ub or got track of
us. They're just tiring on suspicion."
Nevertheless, when our various pln
toous bad all got Into tbe front reserve
trenches, at about two hours after mid
night. we leurned that the first blood
of our battalion bad been spilled. Two
men hod been wounded, though neither
fatally Our own Rtretcher bearers
took our wounded back to tbe field
hospital at Diukiebusch. Tbe men of
tbe Twenty-sixth battalion spent the
rest of the night instructing us and
then left us to hold the position. We
were ns nervous ns» » l<4 of eata, and
It seemed to me t'oir tbe Germans
must certainly !>•<..that they could
come over and us,!; right through us,
but outside of a few casualties from
snipiug. such as tbe one that befell
the Fourteenth platoon man, which I
have told about, nothing rery alarming
happened the first d»v and night, and
by that time we bad got steady on our
Job. We held tbe |>ositlon for twenty
six daya. which Is tlie longest period
that any Canadlau or British organiza
tion baa ever remained In a front Hne
treuch.
in none or rue murirs i >» irau
I ever seen trench fighting as it was
carried on In Relglnm adequately de
scribed. Sou see, yon cant get much
of an idea about a thing like that mak
ing a quick tour of the trenches under
official direction and escort as the
newspaper and magazine writers do.
I couldn't undertake to tell anything
worth while about the big Issues of the
war. but t cnn describe bow soldiers
have to- learn to fight in the trenches,
and I think a good many of our you rig
fellows have that to learn now. "Over
there" they don't talk of peace or
even of tomorrow They sit back and
take it.
We always held the fire trench as
lightly as possible, because it Is a
demonstrated fact that the front ditch
cannot be strceessfully defended in a
determined attack The thing we did
and the thing to do is to be ready to
jump on to the enemy as soon as he
has got Into your front trench and is
fighting on ground that you know and
.be doesn't and knock so many kinds
of tar out of him that he'll have to pull
his load for a spot that isnt so warm.
That system worked first rate with ua
During the day we had only a very
few men in the fire trench. If an at
tack Is coming In daylight there's al
ways plenty of time to get ready for
It. At night we kept prepared for
trouble all the time. We had a night
sentry on each firing step and a man
sitting at his feet to watch hhn to see
he wasn't secretly sniped. Then we
hod a sentry In each "bay" of the
trench to take messages.
Orders didn't permit the man on (ha
firing step or the man watching him
to leave post on any excuse whatever
during their two hour "spell" of duty.
Hanging on a string, at the elbow of
each sentry on the Ore step was a
siren whistle or an empty shell case
and a bit of Iron with which to ham
mer on It This, whichever It might
be, was for the purpose of spreading
the alarm !n case of a gas attack.
Also we had sen tries In "listening
posts," at various points from twenty
to fifty yards out In "No Man's Land."
These men blackened their faces be
fore they went "over the top" and then
lay In shell holes or natural hollows.
There was always two of them, a bay
onet man and a bomber. From the
listening post a wire ran back to the
Are trench to be ur.ed In signaling. In
the trench a man sat with this wire
wrapped around his hand. One pull
meant "All 0. K.," two pulls, "I'm
coming In." three pulls, "Enemy In
That System Workacf Fir»t Rat®
With Ua.
sight," and four pulls, "Sound gas
alarm." The fire step In a trench la a
shelf on -which soldiers stand to look
out and shoot between the sand bags
on top.
In addition to these men, we had pa
trols and scouts out In "No Man's
Land" the greater part of the night,
with orders to gain any Information
possible which might be of value to
battalion, brigade, division or general
headquarters. They reported on the
condition oi the Germans' barbed wire,
the location of machine guns and oth
er little things like that which might
be of Interest to some commanding
officer twenty miles back. Also they
were ordered to make every effort to
capture any of the enemy's scouts or
patrols, so that we could get informa
tion from them. One of the Interesting
moments in this work came when a
star shell caught you out In an open
spot If you moved you were gone.
I've seen men stand oil one foot for
the thirty seconds during which a star
shell will burn. Then when scouts or
patrols met in "No Man's Uind" they
always had to fight It out with bayo
nets. One single shot would be the
signal for artillery (Ire and would
mean the almost Instant annihilation
of the men on both sides of the fight.
Under the necessities of tills war many
of our meu have beeu killed by our
own shell fire.
The Daylight Hour.
At a little before daybreak came
"stand-to," when everybody got but
toned up and ready for business be
cause at that hour most attacks begin,
and also that was the regular time for
a dose of "morning and evening hate,"
otherwise a good, lively llfteen minutes
of shell fire. We had some casualties
every morning and evening, and the
stretcher bearers used to get ready for
them as a regular matter of course.
For fifteen miuutes at dawn and dusk
the Germans used to send over "whiz
bangs," "coal boxes" and "mlnenwer
fer" (shells from trench mortars) In
sueb a generous way that It looked as
If they liked to shoot 'em off, whether
they hit anything or not You could
always hear the "heavy stuff" coming,
and we paid little attention to it, as it
was used in efforts to reach the bat
teries back of our lines. The poor old
town of Dlnkiebusch got the full ben
efit of It When a shell would shriek
its way over, some one would say,
"There goes the express for Dlnkie
busch," and a couple of seconds later,
when some prominent landmark oi
Dlnkiebusch would disintegrate with a
loud detonation, some one else would
remark:
i "Train's arrived 1"
About the only amusement we had
during our long stay in the front
trenches was to sit with our backs
against the rear wall and shoot at the
rater running along the parapet Poor
Macfarlane, with a flash of the old hu
mor which he had before the war, told
a "rookie" that the treneh rats were
so big that he saw one of them trying
on his greatcoat They used to run
over our faces when we were sleeping
In our dugouts, and I've seen them In
ravenous swarms burrowittg into the
shallow graves of the (lend. Most of
the soldiers' legs are scarred to the
knees with bites.
The one thing of which we constant
ly lived in fear was a gas attack. 1
used to wake In the middle of the night
hi a cold sweat dreaming that I heard
the clatter and whistle blowing all
along the line which meant that the
gas was coming. And finally I really
did hear the terrifying sound, Just at
a moment when it couldn't have sound
ed worse. I was in charge of the daily
ration detail, sent back about ten miles
to the point of nearest approach of the
transport lorries to carry In rations,
ammunition nnd sand bags to the front
trenches. We had a lot of trouble re
turning with our loads. Passing a
point which was called Shrannel Cor
ner, because the Germans had precise
range of it, we were caught In ma
chine gun fire and bad to lie on our
stomachs for twenty minutes, during
which we lost one man, wounded. I
sent him back and went on with my
party, only to run Into another machine
gun shower a half mile farther on.
While' we were lying down to escape
this a conecalod British battery of
five Inch gnns, about which we knew
nothing, opened up right over our
heads. It shook us up and seared us so
that some of our party were now worse
off than the man who bad been hit and
carried to the tear. We finally got to
gether and went on. When we were
about a mile behind the reserve trench,
stumbling in the dark through the last
aid most dangerous path overland, we
heard a lone siren whistle, foltowed by
a wave of metallic hammering and wild
tooting which seemed to spread over
all of Belgium a mile ahead of us. All
any of us could say was:
"Gas!"
All you could see In the dark was a
collection of white and frightened
faces. Every trembling finger seemed
awkward as a thumb as we got out our
gas masks and helmets and put tliem
on, following directions as nearly as
we could. I ordered the men to sit
still and sent two forward to notify
me from headquarters when the gas
alarm was over. They lost their way
and were not found for two days. We
sat there for an hour, and then I ven
tured to take my mask off. As nothing
happened. I ordered the men to do the
same. When we got into the trenches
with our packs we found that the gas
alarm had been one of Fritz's Jokes.
The first sirens h:id been sounded in
the German lines, and there hadn't
been any gas.
Our men evened things up with the
Germans, however, the next night
Some of our scouts crawled clear up
to the German barbed wire, ten yards
In front of the enemy fire trench, tied
empty Jam tins to the barricade and
then, after attaching small telephone
wires to the barbed strands, crawled
back to our trenches. When they start,
ed pulling the telephone wires the
empty tins made a clatter right under
Fritz's nose. Immediately the Germans
opened up with all their machine gun
and rifle Are, began bombing the spot
from which the noise came and sent
up "8 0 S" signals for artillery fire
along a mile of their line. They fired
a $10,000 salute and lost a night's sleep
over the noise made by the discarded
containers of 5 shillings' worth of Jam.
It was a good tonic for the Tommies.
