WAS BHD
IN DUGOUT BY
A LARGE SHELL
Lieut. William Black, or the
Boyle Yukon Battery, who recently
I returned from France to England
after being shell-shocked, had an.
unusual experience, some details of
wh.cn were learned by John, Kennal
ley, i\ ho recently, arrived1 here from
London. Mr. Kennailey met Lieut.
Black after the lieutenants was in
jured He says:
"I learned from Lieutenant Black
that he was injured by being: burled
while in a dugout. He had just
been visited -■toy Lieutenant Babb,
who occupied another dugout a
short distance away. Babt# scarcely
ha." left when something happened.
Aftc- the visit of Babb, Blackj re
members nothing until he awakened
in a dressing Btation with; an. am»>
bulaice men bending over him, an<|
0t'ending to his injuries. It seems
th°t a big shell struck tthe ground
so to bury Black under much
deDris. Fortunately some of the
0th"r boys were near enough to
see his plight, and they got busy
with shovels. It was quite a while
before they reached him, and car
rie' him out apparently more
dead than alive. However, he Te-'
v've<l in time, and, although he
j may not be fit for front trenctt
j work again, no doubt will be about
• and may yet oe of gome service wittt
| the forces. However, th's is prob
lematical, as it could not be told
' wUftu I left England just how long
i he would suffer impairment." —
