It is extraordinary v/>hat curious fears some soldiers have. One fighter j always dreads that his charcoal iirej will be destroyed by a shell. Ke al-; ways places the burner in the most; protected part of the trench, but remains quite indifferent in regard to his own personal safety. Another extraordinary fear oif a soldier at the front is that of having his bootlaces untied. Nothing else ha3 terrors for him, from bayonet fighting to asphyxiating gases. But he is quite certain that if his bootlaces are loose he will trip over them and breai | his neck. He always examines his laces to see if they are properly fastened. Another soldier who has been through the thick of the fighting i3 terribly frightened of sr i through a wood, and would rz * \v; lk miles around -it than half a u ough it.
