Than the Civilians Commenced to
Move.
as usual. Occasionally tne.v would
drop some bombs .'I'nl kill a few civil
ians, but the situation was not critical
enough to cause us lo move the bead
quarters.
On Saturday morning, April 24, I
had taken my car c.o>.n to tbe corps
supply column t<> li.i up with potrol
when a shell can:.' over and landed
hi the Held just 1:e.*K!c t!se column. It
was the tirst shell we had had in
Poperinghe. and, believe me, I didn't
want to see whether there were any
more on the way. 1 had been detailed
to go to Boulogne, a.;d I got started
quickly.
No sooner had that shell landed than
the civilians commenced to move. It
was the same old story—panic every
where among the women and children,
and the road was choked with them.
The second shell landed about ten min
utes later, so 1 judged they were only
using one gun. and it was a small one
at that. There was nothing, therefore,
to get excited about.
I picked up a priest and two old
women and pave them a lift as far
as Cassel, where they could get a
train later iu the day for Calais or
Boulogne. I reached Boulogne short
ly after 10 o'clock, and at 1 o'clock I
was on my way back. When I arriv
ed hi Poperinghe everything seemed
as quiet as usual, and I was very much
surprised, as I had expected to find
shells pouring into the place from all
directions.
It seems that the Germans had run
an armored train through aud had be
gun shelling the tow* from the train.
Our artillery went Into action right
away, and instead of hitting the train
first they shelled the tracks behind the
train aud tore the road all up so that
the train could not get back. Then
they took their time aud blew the train
off tha tii.iii _
Sunday morning tbe shells began to
fall In the town again, and they were
big ones this time—twelve Inch, I
heard later. We knew that it was no
armored trnin this time, and we knew
that we were in for a hot time.
I was detailed with my car for the
field cashier, which meant that if the
order came to move I would have au
officer, armed escort and all the money
belonging to (He headquarters, amount
ing to $-10,000. All I had to do at the
time was to stand by and wait for or
ders.
They kept up the shell fire all day,
but at uight they quit. There were
quite a few of our chaps killed and
many civilians too.
The chaplain of No. 3 casualty clear
ing station had taken over a building
and started a soldiers' hom>?. It was
a place where a fellow could go when
he was oiT duty, and there were books,
magazines, cake, tea, etc., to be bad
for the asking. It was a fine thing,
and it was always crowded, for the
fellows enjoyed it Immensely.
This was the first building to be hit,
and it was full of fellows at the time.
A twelve inch shell crashed through the
roof and exploded on the second floor.
The building caved in like a house built
of cards. The marvelous part of it was
that, although there must have been
fully 100 men in there at the time, not
a single one was killed. A few had
some scratches and other minor In
juries, and one had liia arm broken,
but these were the only casualties from
this shell.
I lost all my belongings during the
bombardment. I had been keeping my
kit bag in the loft of a stable, and a
bell cams through and laid the BuIM
tig to the ground.
All day Monday the shelling coa
tlnued, and still no orders came fot
us to move. Things were beginning to
look serious now, and we wondered
how much longer we would have to
stick it out. It was the most unsat
isfactory duty one could imagine.
There we were doing absolutely noth
ing and the Germans throwing shell
after shell into us. We had no chancy
to hit back, and there was nothing ex
cept to stand by and take our chances.
When the order did come to move the
field cashier was the last one to be noti
fied, but even though we were the last
to get the order we were the first ones
out, and I was happy to say goodby to
that place. We went about six kilo
meters down the road and took over
temporary headquarters In a little vil
lage.
It was just after we moved down to
this village that I got the only scratch
I had during the whole campaign. I
was on the Dlckebusch road with a
staff colonel, and we had been visiting
some regiments that were out of action
at the time. While we were there the
Germans started shelling, and we de
cided It would be better for us If we
moved to a healthier locality. The
colonel was sitting in the tonneau of
the car. while I. of course, was In the

As we swung out Into the main road
ive heard a shell coming, and automat
ically I put on more speed. The shell
Burst right on the side of the road.
3ne piece of It flew through the bottom
it the car and tore the footboard right
from under the colonel's feet. It didn't
aother him the least bit. He simply
iwung his feet right up on to the seat
md advised me to crowd on a little
more speed.
Another little piece of the shell graz
sd my right leg Just above the knee.
It was a mere scratch, but It scared
me as nothing ever has since, and I
guess I thought my whole leg was
gone.
The same shell that came so close to
us caught another poor fellow and
wounded him In the back In twenty
nine different places, and with all tills
he walked a quarter of a mfle to a
dressing station.
CHAPTER XI.
Preferred Firing Line to Hospital.
SOON after this I reported sick for
the first time since I had been in
the British army. I had a growth
in my throat, and they sent me to a
hospital In Armentleres. There they
removed the growth and put me to
bed on a stretcher.
I was In the hospital only three days,
and during my stay there the Germans
shelled the town the entire time. 1
felt awfully sorry for the poor fellows
there who wero helpless and didn't
know at what moment a shell might
come through and wipe them off the
face of the earth.
I stood It for three days, and when
I saw that they had made no move to
discharge me from hospital I asked
the orderly In my ward when 1 would
be likely to get out.
"Oh," he said, "you won't be out of
here for luwaek-SfiV.
"Won't I?,r7Tsued' "Well, you just
go down to the other end of the ward
and turn your back for a few momenta
and see whether I will get out or not!"
He said be couldn't do a thing like
that, but the nest time he was down
there I simply got up and walked out.
In these hospitals so near the firing
line there are no such things as beds,
and one simply lies on a stretcher with
his clothes all on.
When I reached the gate of the hos
pital I found a policeman on duty
there, but I simply said the magic
word "Duty" and walked right by him.
I got a lift on a motor lorry for four
teen miles, and I walked the other
eight back to camp.
When I returned and reported my
self they asked me for my discharge
sheet, but I said I had lost It, so there
was iiotliiiitvfliev £fw.ild do.about it.
