The Prince of Walu, < ■
A few days after this a very young
officer passed toe In a trench wiilla I
was sitting on a fire step writing a
letter. 1 noticed that be had the red
tabs of a staff officer on Ills uniform,
but I paid no more attention to him
than that. No compliments, such u
salutes to officers, are paid in the
trenches. After he had passed one of
the men asked me if I didn't know
who he was. I said I didn't
"Why, you d— fool" he said, "that"*
the Prince of Wales!"
When the little prince came back I
stood to salute him. He returned the.
salute with a grave smile and passed
on. He was quite- alone, and I was
told afterward that he made these
trips through the trenches Just to show
the men that ho did hot consider him
self better than any other soldier. The
heir of England was certainly taking
nearly the same chance of losing his
Inheritance that we were.
After we had been on the front line
fifteen days we received orders to
make a bombing raid. Sixty volun
teers were asked for, and the whole

When the Little Prince Came Baok I
Stood to Salute Him.
battalion offered. I was lucky—or un
lucky—enouKb to be among tbe sixty
who were chosen. I want to tell you
In detail about this bombing raid, so
that you can understand what a thing
may really amount to that gets only
three lines or perhaps nothing at all
in the official dispatches, and, besides
that. It may help some of the young
men who rend this to know something
a little later alx»ut bombing*
The sixty of us chosen to execute the
raid were taken twenty miles to the
rear for a week's Instruction practice.
Having only a slight Idea of what we
were going to try to do, we felt very
Jolly about the whole enterprise start
ing off. We were camped in an old
barn, with several special Instruction
officers in charge. We had oral In
struction the first day, while sappers
dug and built nn exact duplicate of the
section of the German trenches which
we were to raid—that Is, It was exact
except for a few details. Certain
"skeleton trenches" In the practice »eo
tion wero dug simply to fool the Ger
man aviators. If a photograph taken
back to German headquarters bad
shown an exact duplicate of a German
trench section suspicion might have
been aroused and our plans rev paled.
We were constantly warned about the
skeleton trenches and told to remem
ber that they did not exlat In the Get
man section where we were to opeTMflL
Meanwhile our practice section wag
changed a little several times, because
aerial photographs showed that tbe
Germans had been renovating and
making some additions to the trenches
In which we were to have our fro Ik
with them.
We had oral Instruction, mootly dur
ing the day because we didn't dare let
the German ablators see as practicing
a bomb raid. All night long, sometime*
until 2 or 3 o'clock In the morning, we
rehearsed that raid. Just as carefully
as a company of star actors would re
hearse a play. At first there was a dis
position to have sport out of It.
"Well," some chap would say, roll
ing Into the hay an tired out, "1 tot
killed six times tonight S'pose ttU
be eight times tomorrow night." - ■
One man Insisted that be had discov
ered In one of our aerial photographs
a German burying money, and he care
fully examined each new picture, so
that he could be sure of finding the
dough and digging It op. Tbe grave
and serious manner of our officers,
however, the exhaustive care with
which we were drilled and, more than
all, the approach of the time when we
were to "go over the top" drove all
sport out of our minds, and I can say
for myself that the very thought of
tbe undertaking as the fatal night
drew near sent shivers up and down
my spine.
A bomhlnz raid, aomeiync-orlriaat
ed In warfare by tfio Canad/TJb' 75' u^t
Intended for the purpose of holding
ground, but to gain Information, to do
m much damage as possible and to
keep the enemy In a state of nervous
ness. In this particular raid the chief
object was to gain information. Our
high command wanted to know what
troops were oppoBlte us and what
troope had been there. We were ex
pected to get this information from
prisoners and from buttons and papers
off of the Germans we might kia It
was believed that troops were being

relieved from the big tent show up at
the Somme and sent to our side show
In Belgium for rest Also It was sus
pected that artillery was being with
drawn for the So in me. Especially we
were anxious to bring back prisoners.
In civilized war a prisoner can be
compelled to tell only his name, rank
and religion. But this Is not a civilized
war, and there are ways of making
prisoners talk. One of the most ef
fective ways—quite humane—is to tie
a prisoner fast, head and foot, and
then tickle his bare feet with a feather.
More severe measures have frequently
been nsed—the water cure, for in
stance—but I'm bound to say that
nearly all the German prisoners 1 saw
were quite loquacious and willing to
talk, and the accuracy of their Infor
mation, when later confirmed by raids,
was surprising. The iron discipline
which turns them Into mere children
la the presence of their officers seemed
to make them subservient and obedient
to the officers who commanded us. I
mean, of course, the privates. In this
way the system worked against the
fatherland. Captured German officers,
especially Prussians, were a nasty lot.
We never tried to get Information from
them, for we knlw they would lie, hap
pily and very intelligently—well In
structed in the art
At last came the night when we were
to go "over the top," across No Man's
Land, and have a frolic with Fritz in
his own happy home. I am endeavor
ing to as accurate and truthful as
possible in these stories of my soldier
ing. and I am therefore compelled to
say that there wasn't a man in the
sixty who didn't show the strain in his
pallor and nervousness. Under orders,
we discarded our treuch helmets and
substituted knitted skullcaps or empty'
mess tins. Then we blackened our
hands and faces with ashes from a
camp Are bo as to avoid being seen as
long as possible. After this they load
ed us Into motor trucks and took us up
to "Shrapnel Corner," from which
point we went In on foot Just before
we left a staff captain came along and
gave us a little talk.
"This Is the first time you men have
been tested," he said. "You're Cana
dians. I needn't say anything more to
you. They're coins to be popping them
ixr at a great rate while you're on your
way across. Remember that you'd bet
ter not stand up straight, because our
shells teOl be going over Just six and a
half feet from the ground where lfs
level If yon stand up straight you're
iftefr to be hit in the head, but don't
let that worry you, because if you do
jet hit In the head yon won't know it.
So why to h— worry about it?" That
was his farewell Be jumped on his
horse and rode off.
•The Bomb Baid.
The pointwe were to attack had been
selected long before by our scouts. It
was not, as'you might suppose, the
weakest point la the German line. It
was, on the contrary, the strongest It
was considered that the moral effect of
cleaning up a weak point would be
comparatively small, whereas to break
In at the strongest point would be
something really worth while. And If
We were to take a chance It really
wouldn't pay to hesitate about degrees.
The section we were to raid had a i
frontage of 1150 yards and a depth of
200 yards. It had been explained to us
that we were to be supported by a
"box barrage," or curtain Are, from
our artillery to last exactly twenty-six
minnfoft—that la. .for twenti-slx mill
utea from' tlie time nTisn tfe started
"over the top" our artillery, several
miles back, would drop a "curtain" of
shells all around the edges Of that 150
yard by 200 yard section. We were to
have fifteen minutes In which to do
our work. Any mun not out at the
end of the fifteen minutes would nece-t.
sarlly be caught in our own fire, as our
artillery would then change from a
"box" to pour a straight curtain fire
covering all of the spot of our opera
tion^.
Our offic-s set their watches very
carefully with those of the artillery of
ficers before we went forward to the
front trenches. We reached the front
at 11 p. in., and not until our arrival
there were we informed of the "zero
hour"—the time when the attack was
to be trade. The hour of 12:10 had
been selected.. The waiting from 11
o'clock until that time was simply an
agony. Some of our men sat stupid
and Inert. Others kept talking con
stantly ubont the most inconsequential
matters. One man undertook to tell a
funny story. No one listened to It, and
the laugh at the end was emaciated
and ghastly The Inaction was driving
us all Into u state of funk. I could ac
tually feel my nerve oozing out at my
finger tips, and if we had had to wait
fifteen minutes longer 1 wouldn't have
been able to climb out of the trench.
About half nn hour before we were
to go over every man had his eye up
the trench, for we know "the rummies"
were coming that way. The rum gang
serves out a stiff shot of Jamaica Just
before an attack, and It would be a
real test of temi>eranee to see a man
refuse. There were no prohibitionists
In our set. Whetlier or not we got our
full ration depended on whether the
sergeant In charge was drunk or sober.
After the shot began to work one man
next me pounded my leg and hollered
In my ear:
"I say, why all this red tape? Let's
go over now "
That nosgin of rum Is a life saver.
When the hour approached for us to
start the artillery tire was so heavy
that orders had to be shouted Into ears
from man to man. The bombardment
was, of course, along a couple of miles
of front so that the Germans would not
know where to expect us. At 12 o'clock
exactly they began pulling down a sec
tion of the parapet so that we wouldn't
have to climb over it and we were off.
There are six articles In this remark

Two have already been printed, and
the third will appear soon. It is the
most interesting one of the scries thus
