Well,`. they well deserve _ .the praise. The ground they had to take wasisomething of a task `Whi01l.` none could have accom- plished but men who had an idea of the task ahead or them, of the maze `of trenches, of wire en- tanglements, machine gun posi- tions and other numerous obsta- cles, villages and woods staring them in the face, with dangers which` lurked therein, unknown to anyone except the enemy. But we carried. them all before us and our artillery barrage which paved the way was something grunfl yet awful to see. Everything was torn asunder or levelledilat by it. The enemy, who admit that they -expected an attack, were com- pletely surprised thinking it was one of our numerous raids which we have been carrying on all winter, went into their deep dug- out to wait until our shell fire was over. But without their host for when the barrage lifted our troops were upon them before they had time to get out.of their" underground holes, so they. were either taken prisoner or killed. Wewere very lucky as to casualties, ours being fairly light. Our section`had two -castialties.` one killed and one slightly wounded. Poor old Ran-' kin, (Pte.

Frank was a good old pal. `-I `don`t think. there are any others you know. Have not heard liow the boys in theother battalions made out.
