It has been a year full of worldshnpin events not the least of which was our taking of tho famous Vimy which perhaps was die most complete local victory hat ever happened and I will endeav our lo giv you an idea of the leading up to and subsc- Jo it leaving the last year you will remem ber we settled in a quiet part of the front for the winter It was a very quiet part of the front in the general vicinity Lens and for about two months there was practically no shelling at all However we did a lot ol preparatory work in connection with the telephone system came and wenland was celebrat ed as well as possible under the circumstances y Shortly after this rumors started to float lo the ef fect that wo were off at in the Spring and about tho end of January we marched out afler pulling off one of the big gest and slickest raids that had been pulled off up to that time and it still stands very high in the records We then spent a month of coldest weather we have experienced since being in Vance in a little mining town away back off the Uric There was considerable suffering from colds but I think everybody trot through it without being very much the worse for the experi ence From there we marched into position if a little right of town of that name and highest part Famous was not without considerable thai we took up this for the place had an evil name and the huge yards in the vicinifv mute to the had dashed ifself In vain trains those sHuated the top there a short lime we found the place fair ly that the Hun was not allowed to see too much for he shelled all move ment The ground leading lo the ridce was very flat for miles hack and this necessitated very oner communication trenches There seamed lie hundreds of miles of them went every where and all movement during the daytime had to he confined to them and often at night too on account of machinegun Ore We spent about a month in Ibis way during which time such prepara tions were made as soon convinc ed us that the day of the Hun on Vimy Ridge was about over Signs of the impending storm accumulated on every band and still he din not seem to be wor rying very much His shelling got a little more active hut he undoubtedly thought that bis po sition was impregnable He probably also look heart from he fact hat about this lime his aer oplanes seemed to lie bavin ff it all heir own way a position they were allowed to maintain up to the morning of the attack On we moved up to our advanced headquarters which had been previously prepared mute close to the front It was quite safe from shell fire From here we had tunnels running In to No Mans Land through which our lines were laid already for the advance We had consid erable difficulty getting in as by this time the frost having t r to Absent gone from the trenches hey were in a terrible shape and wo were often in the position of Dalrnsfalhcrs Hurt where be says Another mile of this or shall I risk it over the top Fritz also appeared to be smelling a rat for he shell ed us considerably However we all arrived safely with nothing worse happening to us than loss of a few pairs of rubber boots which had to bo left slicking in the mud owners arriving in stockinged feet I had two or three trips back and forward to make that afternoon and can assure you was mighty glad when they were over The cave was crammed full of men and sleep was out of the question but we were too excited to sleep for did not the early hours of the morning open the great campaign of and were we not right here on the fore front of things about fake part in one of the greatest battles the world In a few hours all Canada and rest of the world for that matter would be rush ing to newspapers to learn what had accomplished on that momentous day Well the final touches were put on the rangemenls and a on the was as ready oyer the nidge opened up with a noise like the Crack and In a few hours our boys wore I over the pouring the flat country beyond got trie surprise- of his famous Itlclgc and our casualties were comparatively Hglitj We had thousands pris oners and hundreds of a bad days work at all The here played a dirty trick after being fine for a few days it started in to rain and snow Abominably and the was intense especially with Ibe wounded whom it was very difficult to get out It also ren dered the moving up of guns an absolute Impossibility However the advance continued in spile of everything during the next few days until wo Anally met with strong resistance at a point some five miles beyond our original front lino Then we moved our headquar ters across No Man s Land and out into the country so lately oc cupied by the enemy- I wish could five you some idea of what that country looked like am afraid it is impossible suffice it lo say that crossing it was ex tremely difficult It was a scram ble from one shellhole to an other for no pari of ii bad and the devils who occupied it have suffered all the of he dammed bill sympathy is by the knowledge that it is he price that must be paid We mealed in an other chalk mine which had been used by the Cernians as a quartermasters store for we found stacks of bread and mineral water there besides quantities of ammunition and a gunsmiths repair shop bread was very black and hard but if didnt taste loo bad albeit a rifle bitter Some of the boys ate quite a lot of it hut I found it gave me indigestion and bad to quit The mineral water was a pleasant change but it didnt last long Both entrances to the cave bad been severely damaged by our shell lire and over two hundred prisoners had been taken out of it by our mopping up par ly when they first went over We were now on lop of the Ridge and could look hack on the position we had lately occupied and I have since never ceased to wonder why the Hun didnt blow us lo pieces while he had us down there under such perfect observa tion to say nothing of allowing us to accumulate the great quan tities of material needed for bis destruction No wonder that was sore when inter viewing the troops responsible which he did shortly afterwards The enemys artillery now woke Up wlih a vengeance He bad evi dently brought considerably more up and day after day he poured a stream of big stuff over our beads into the back country searching for our guns but be had lost his observation now and consequently his aim was bad and while the noise was more or less nervewracking he did not do a great deal of damage The following six weeks saw a dingdong battle during which our progress was very slow but none the less sure every inch ol ground being fiercely contested and his numerous counterat tacks were only driven back by the very stiff est kind of fighting every inch of ground was held and his losses must have been frightful By the end of Afay our front line had been pushed for ward another two miles our Corps had been heartily congrat ulated by everyone authority from the King down and quite a number of our boys were going around wearing Military Medals with modest pride The past few months had again put he youth of Canada to a severe test and the folks at borne may well be proud of the result Thev- are among the best boys in the world and have proved themselves more than equal to the best that can send against them often wonder just what you peo ple at home think of the war for my part I think it is pursuing a fairly logical course We couldnt expect that Germany give up without trying her utmost to win There was too much at stake and people who expected her to be starved into submission must remember that she controls an immense territory which is bound to be more or less self- sustaining The deflection of Russia undoubtedly saved from severe defeat this summer but weight is beginning to tell She manages to keep up a strong front hut her core is rolling fast and it is only a matter of time till she falls lo pieces The long er she keeps up a strong front greater will be the wreck when it does come Kitchener said three years ago that the war would last at least three years and if it lasted longer than that so much the worse for Germany Well that is just as true today as it was then Let everybody stick to it and realization of our hopes is sure To resume all work and no play makes Tommy sore and as we were now due for a little play the last day of May saw us on our way for a pretty little town in the rear whore we spent whole month of June and there you will have to leave us for Iho time be ing I trust this letter will not bore you with Us length and that Newmarket more than
