When their glare flare<l oyer us we had to stand as we were caught, hand or .foot upraised* moveless objects In tlurred glow until the light snuffed out and all was dark once more. We reached the German entangle ments apd began cutting them with our djled clippers. We *were careful, veryj'fireful* but we were not careful enough. They heard us. Over came two bombs. \ / The three o? us went down In a rov*. Jack and Tom never knew what hilt them.

Morning ! My last. I could endure It no more. ,1 was, dying ? bleeding. I said my last prayer. And then ! Since the dawn of time I do not be lieve the world has seen a more glori ous thing. From the hill tops our ar-; i till ery laid down a box barrage lire and under it, heads raised like em perors and shoulders squared, came' six men, stretcher bearers. As though I they had been on parade they came forth In broad daylight into the very teeth of the enemy -and picked up what was left of Jack, Tom and me. As though we had been their own brothers they bore us back, swiftly, gently. Then do you know what those Hund did? ** Opened tire on us? the dead, the? bearers of 'the dead and a man who lay quivering at the threshold of death. Two of the sir bearers went down.
