We ; lost' so many boys that we didn’t have | stretcher bearers to carry in our! wounded. We were standing by waiting to be i ! used in action When our regimental I ! doctor asked for' ten men to act as ! (stretcher bearers. I asked for ten Vol-! unteers and of course many of the 1 i boys wanted to go. I let the first ten j , men who volunteered go on the mis- j sion.
