No. 6. Decorated For
Bravery; Home and
Uncle Sam
By Sergeant Alexander McClintock,
D. C. M„ 87th Overseas Batt.,
Canadian Qren. Guards.
Copyright, 1917. by th« Bell Sjrn
dlcftt*>
This ii the concluding article of the
series of six by Scry cant McClintock,
an American boy of Lexington, Ky.,
tcho has seen service in France, teas
decorated for bravery atul invalided
home. Tie has been promised a com
mission in our army. The first five in
stallments told of the fighting in Bel
gium and on the Somme, where he teas
desperately wounded, 7'his final in
staliment describes his journey >Q tfro
rear with tu-cnty-tico pieces of shrapnel
in one leg and his meeting with the
king in a Londrm hospital.
I WAS taken from Pozieree to Albert
in a Ford ambulance or, as the
Tommies would say, a "tin Lizrie."
The man who drova this vehicle would
make a good chauffeur for an adding
machine. Al'WIWtly he w*s counting
the bumps in thu road, for be didn't
miss one of them. However, the trip
was only a mutter of seveu miles, and
I was in fair condition when they lifted
me out and carried me to an operating
table in the lleid dressing station.
A chaplain came along and murmur
ed a little prayer in my ear. I imagine
that would have made a man feel very
solemn if he had thought there was a
chance he was about to pass out, but
I knew 1 merely had a leg pretty badly
smashed up, and while the chaplain
was praying I was wondering If they
would have to cut ft off. I figured, if
so. this would handicap my dancing.
The ttrrt formality in a shrapnel case
Is the adi/jUilatriitiau of an anti-tetanus
inr.oculatiuii. ami W'liPH it Is done you
realize that they ar« sure trjlug to
save your life. The doctor uses a horse
syringe. Biid the injection leaves a
lump on your chest as big as a base
ball. which stays with you for forty
eight hours. After the Injection a
nurse tills out a diagnosis blank with
a description of your wounds and a
record of your name, age, regiment,
regimental number, religion, parentage
and previous history as far as she can
discover it without asking questions
which would be positively tudellcate.
After all of that my wounds were giv
en their lirst real dressing.
Immediately after this was done I
was bundled into auother ambulance
and driven to C'outay, where the C. C.
S. (casualty clearing station) and rail
head were located. In the ambulance
with me were three other soldiers, an
artillery officer and two privates of In
fantry. We were all ticketed off as
shrapnel cases tuid probable recoveries,
which lntter detail W remarkable, since
the most slightly Injured of the four
had twelve wounds, and there were
sixty odd shell fragments or shrapnel
balls collectively imbedded In us. The
nurse had told me that I had about
twenty wounds. Afterward her count
proved conservative More accurate
and later returns showed twenty-two
bullets and shell fragments were In
my leg. They took these out and pre
sented them to me. 1 have been giv
ing them away for souvenirs.
We were fairly comfortable In the
ambulance, and I especially had great
relief from the fact that the nurse had
strapped my leg In a sling attached to
the top of the vehicle. We smoked
cigarettes and chatted cheerfully, ex
changing congratulations on having
got "clean ones"—that Is, wounds not
probably fatal. The artillery officer
told me he had been supporting our
battalion that morning with one of the
"sacrifice batteries."
A sacrifice battery, I might explain,
is one composed of field pieces which
are emplaced between the front and
support lines and which In case of au
attack or counterattack are fired at
point blank range. They call them
sacrifice batteries because some of
them are wiped out every day. This
officer said our battalion that morning
had been supported by an entire divi
sion of artillery and that on our front
of 400 yards the eighteen pounders
alone, in a curtain fire which lasted
thirty-two minutes, had discharged
10.000 rounds of high explosive shells.
I was Impressed by his statement, of
course, but I told him that, while this
was an astonishing lot of ammunition,
it was even more surprising to have
noticed at close range, as I did, the
number of Germans they missed. To
ward the end of our trip to Contay we |
were much exhausted and pretty badly >
ihnken up. We were beginning. also
» realize we were by up uifaus out of
be woods surgically. Our wounds bad
nerely been dressed. Each of ua faced
in extonshe and serious operation.
tVe arrived at Contay silent and pretty
iac!ly depressed. For twenty-four
aourj In the Contay casualty clearing
itatlon they did little except feed ua

Germans Bomb Hospital Train.
Right here I would like tu tell a Ut
Je story about ft hospital truin leaving
Dontay for Rouen—not the one we
Jrere on, but one which had left a few
lays before. The train, when It wea
lust ready to depart with a full Quota
)f wounded men, was attacked by
German aeroplanes from which bombs
ivere dropped upon it. There is noth
ag apparently that makes the Ger

mans so fearless and ferocious as the
lied Cross emblem, On the top of eact\
of the cars in this train there was «
Ked Cross big enough to be seoq from
miles in the uir. The QerfflftU u viators
iccepted them incryly as excellent tar
gets. Their bombs quickly knocked
throe or tour cars from the rails and
filled several of the helplessly wound
>d men. The rest of the patients, weak
ind nervous from recent shock and in
|ury, some of them half delirious and
nearly all of them absolutely helpless
ind in pain, were thrown into near
panic.
Two of the nursing sisters in charge
»f the train were the coolest Individ
uals present. They walked calmly up
md down its length, urging the pa
tients to remain quiet, directing the
tn«le attendants how to remove the
wounded men safely from the wrecked
;ars and paying no attention whatever
to the bombs which were still explod-'
lug nenr the train. 1 did not have the
privilege of witnessing this scene my
self, but I know that 1 have accurate
ly described it, for the details were
told In an official report when the king
ilecornted the two sisters with the Boy.
ii) Red Cross (or valor In the face of
the enemy.
The trip from Contay to Bouen was
a nightmare—twenty-six hours travel
ing 150 miles on a train which was
forever stopping and starting, its Jerky
^nd uncertain progress meaning to ub
|ust hours and hours of suffering. I do
not know whether this part of the sys
tom for the removal of wounded has
been Improved now. Then, its Incon
veniences and Imperfections must have
been inevitable, for In every way after
ward the most thoughtful and tender
rare was shown us. In the long rows
af huts which compose the British gen
eral hospital at Rouen we found our
selves In what seemed like paradise.
In the hut which constituted the spe
cial ward for leg wounds I was lifted
from the stretcher on which I had trav
eled all the way from Polzers Into a
comfortable bed with fresh, clean
sheets, and instantly I found myself
surrouuded with quiet, trained, effi
cient care. 1 forgot the pain of my
wouuds and the dread of the coming
operation when a tray of delicious food
was placed beside my bed and a nurse
prepared me for the enjoyment of it
by bathing my face and hands with
scouted water.
On the following morning my leg
was X rayed and photographed. I told
the surgeon l thought the business of
operating could very well be, put off
until I had had about three more
square meals, but he couldn't Bee It
that way. In the afternoon I got my
first sickening dose of ether, and they
took the first lot of Iron out of ma 1
suppose these were Just the surface
deposits, for they only got fire or six
pieces. However, they continued sys
tematically. I had five more opera
tions, and every time I came out of
the ether the row of bullets and shell
senilis at the foot of my bed was a
little longer. After the number had
reached twenty-two.tbcy told iqe that
perhaps there were a fow more In
there, bnt they thought they'd better
let them stay.
My wonnds had become Hqptlc, and it
was necessary to give all attention to
drainage and cure. It was about this
time that everything lor awhile seem
ed to become hazy and my memories
got all queerly mixed up and confused.
I reeollect I conceived a violent dis
like for a black do; that appeared
from nowhere now and then and be
gan chewing at my leg, and I believe
I gave the nurse a severe talking to
because she Insisted on going to look
on at the ball game when she ought to
be sitting by to chase that dog away.
And I was perfectly certain about her
being at the ball game, because I saw
her there when 1 was pluying third
base.
The Alarming Cablegram.
H was at this time (on Nov. 28, 1016.
ten days after 1 had been wounded)
that my father In Lexington received
the following cablegram from the offl-,
cer In charge of the Canadian records
In England:
Sincerely regret to Inform you that Ser
geant Alexander MeClIntock U officially
reported damreroudy Ml In No. E general
hospital from gunshot wound in left thigh.
Further particulars supplied when re
ceived.
It appears that during the time of
my adventures with the black dog and
the Inattentive nurse my temperature
had ascended to the &t&ge when the
doctors began to admit another method
of treatment Anight have been success
ful. Bat I didn't pass out. The one
thing I most regret about my close call
ts that my parents In Lexington were
In unrelieved suspense about my con
dition until I myself sent them a cable
from London on Dec. 15. After the
first official message, seemingly pre
pared almost as a preface to the an
nouncement of my demise, my father
received no news of roe whatever.
And, as ( dldnt know that the official
message had gone, 1 cubled nothing to
until I was feeling fairly chipper
•gain, tou can't have wars, though,
without these Uttle misunderstandings.
If It were possible I should say some
thing here which would be fitting and
adequate about the Englishwomen
who nursed the 2,500 wounded men In
ge&erai hospital No. 5 at Rouen, but
that power Isn't fftveo me. AU I can
do la to f«U back upon our most pro
found American expression of respect
and »ay that my hat la oft to them.
One nurse hi the ward la which I lay
had been on her feet for fifty-six hours,
with hardly time even to eat. She
finally fainted from exhaustion, was
carried out of the ward and was back
again In four hours, assisting at an
operation. And the doctors Were do
ing their btt, too. In living up to the
obligations which thej, tousldered to
be theirs. An operating room was in
every ward, with five tables in each.
After the fl£hV 6a the Sumroe, in which
I was wonted, uot a table was va
cant any Ww to the twenty-four for
daya at a time. Outside of each room
waa a long line of stretchers contain
ing patient* next awaiting surgical at
tention. And In all that stress 1 did
not hear one word of complaint from
the surgeons who stood hour after
hour, using their skill and training for
the petty pay of English army medical
officers.
