have been visited will not be reached Hut a general appeal Is made here to all Perhaps in no other County In the Province have the recruiting efforts been so thoroughly planned and so persistently carried out as In the County of York and yet the Battalion is warned for over seas at a Utile over half strength Will men of York County not come forward and respond to this last call so as to enable unit to go overseas with sufficient strength lo do credit to this historic county Some have refused to enlist thus far on the ground that the date of departure was too remote Nov is the opportunity The Battalion will leave for overseas the third week in There will be no wailing A recent census of the has revealed the fact that still nearly men of military age Many of these are free to go and ought to offer their services to Canada and the Empire In this when the call for men Is so urgent for the final drive which Is to crush the arrogant hopes of Ger many and avenge the cruel wrong in flicted upon tho innocent people dur ing the past months The young men of York County ought mot and cannot be Indifferent lo these things Some of your comrades have been on the firing line for months

were In that place a little over two weeks- Then we loft there about fourthirty only our company- that Is J Gompaby and the rest stayed there for a shortUme Since leaving that place the companies have been separated took the train Again and Were for two days and one night It was very cold and we had a lime to keep warm Vye were gept in the cars for somo time After we got 6ut of Ihebarfl wo warmed up At that place there were lots of Gorman prisoners but they seem to be happy badout dinner we had a long march of us and arrived where wo at present The weather here has been very cold Tho frost Is In the ground from two or three feeldeep but snow Since coming here we go out in working parties and have been helping to build on engine shed on account of being short of water one day 1 took my towel and soap with me and after we had our lunch went to a big shell hole to break tho Ice and found that It was over a fool thick so you con tell that Is not summer here yet I can tell you that there is all kinds of excitement here where we are because wc arc only from three to four miles from ihe German front line of trenches and all kinds of batteries around us I was down the first night watching ihe gunners firing off the guns with lb shells The guns were howitzers and they certainly make a noise The first Sunday we were here three of us boys from Newmarket were up the line about two miles and in the valley was a tweiveinoh howitzer In the mud about six feet deep While were Ihere they fired several times Each shell weighs lbs The shell is twelve Inches thick and about four feet In length They colled her Lucky because she has been struck twice and not hurt at all and the sergeant in charge told us that she had fired over a thousand shells than was expected of her I Just wish you oil could see big guns going up llje line Some arc drawn by three and four horse learns and others are drawn by traction engines By the looks of things there will bo some thing doing before long I might Just say that the first Sunday we were hero we didnt have to work so wo made good use of the lime We were in several of the German dugouts from forty to sixty feet under ground and some of them have wire beds in and loads of room One would wonder however they got them so deep and to see the trenches and barbedwire entanglements Is wonderful Shell holes are as thick as potatoes hills In one place wc came to some graves and one of Kitzs shells had heaved up some of the bodies One was a Ger man and all he had on was his tunic and there were only two buttons left so we cut them off to keep for souvcnlers You know we are gelling used to seeing all kinds of sights The guns arc going nearly all time and at night they keep up a continual roar We can see the reflection from the guns for miles are right near one of the main lines and see the troops coming and going from the trenches They are in great spirits before I forget Clarence Pearson was over last Sunday to see us boys from Newmarket He was drafted into No Construction and of course he being a momber I was tickled to have a talk with him He Is looking fine and wishes to be remembered to all will close for Ibis lime
