Arriving at the transport cooks at once went to work and got tea and meat ready. About -ten o clock that night word was sent up that it would be no use as the Batt. They began arriv- rations, t ing in twos and three until there ration party set out for the trench- I I the `range of the farm house ' where 1 s were about 170 all A told. I think the only ofcers present were Major Ballantyne and Major Colquhoun. I could `scarcely recognize some of` the men._ The expression of their faces was entirely changed, being drawn A and pinched looking. As the men came in they were directed to the cooks wagons. Passing along the road going to Breilin and ,Vlamin- tington hundreds of wounded men were passing -from the trenches, walking. Many of them were scarcely able to walk, and then ayoul would see` two together, helping each other along the road. All regiments of course were "represent- ed," and no one was turned awayf from our cook wagons if they felt like having a drink of tea. 'About_ midnight Major Ballantyne fell: in what men were within hearing and marched them off towards Vlamintington, ,On passing` through Breilin one of `the brigade officers halted the party and asked where we were going. Major Ballantyne - told him. that word had been sent!` along the ring line for th remains ofthe 4th Batt. to reti e. The brigade oicer then . told Major Ballantyne that a mistake had been made, that the `orders meant that the Batt. had only to fall back to the'reserve trenches. So back to. the trenches again was ` the order. I can t say, `as .some papers would make` you believe, that the boys. were jumping with joy and eager to get at the Germans again. _ They were hungry, tired "and nerve broken. On, Saturday _.-moming, 24th April, -the huns by -some means got the transports were. The rst shell T- _fell in. the road, the next in front of ' i l the house, and` after that all round ' about.

A great number -of, the men were `wounded in the arms and legs. Others had their faces so` cut and bruised by shrapnel as to be unrecognizable. A few had their legs completely shot away. The hospital was pack- ed all `day. As `soon as a man got his wounds dressed he was labelled and sent o in an ambulance to a stationary hospital. Towards night. the ow of -wounded` decreased.

On the morning of Friday, 23rd April, vague` rumors began to come in that the 4th- Batt. were being severely handled. As the morning wore on the rst of the 4th Batt. wounded came in and then we got word that the 4th were being hacked to pieces. J-ack Fraser and I were proceeding to the hospital when word came in that the Adjutant, Capt. Glover, was killed. Nothing made it more clearer to us, than his death, that the 4th were being wiped out. `In loosing the adjutant the men lost the best men they had." He was be- loved by all and as the saying goes, as long as Capt. Glover was in front, the men would follow him" through hell re. Fast on the top of this news `came the word that Col. Birchall was dead and Lieut.- _Col. Buell, the 2nd. in command, `wounded. Proceeding to the hospi- `tal we saw sights that completely baffles description. Red Cross am- bulances were discharging `wounded, and immediately going back" to the firing line for another load, The Red Cross ambulance service was totallyinadequate to cope with the number of wounded.` Hundreds of the wounded` hadto walk from the ring line to the hospital in 'Vlamintington. Inside the hospital grounds was packed with wounded of all descriptions. On the "path leading round the back of the hos.-. Q pital was an automobile, it had been struck by a shell, and the floor and seats were spattered with blood.

We had returned to billets. Or- ders were given that no one was to take off their clothes or boots, but hold themselves in readiness to` turn out at a moment si notice. Whilst watching the refugees pass through the town we endeavored to. nd out what had happened. We could get `nothing out of . the French, they were in too great a hurry. From remarks, passed by British transport drivers we gathered that the French troops had been gassed and. left the trenches open for the Germans to break through. On lying down that night we still thought that there were sufficient troops in the reserve trenches to keep the Germans -in check. We thought wrong. At 1.30 a.m. the order came for the 4th Batt. _to proceed to the ring line. Five minutes after the order was given to the bomb-throwers. I went to the Quarter-m'aster s stores` to receive orders. and was just in time to see the tail end of C. com- pany passing out of sight. It was the quickest move I ever saw` made. After the batt. passed the stores, _the rst. line transports marched. past; on each of the limbers was thrown two boxes of biscuits. In a few minutes they had all passed out of sight. My orders were to stay with the stores. V'I"L.. .....--....J...J 1.-.! `L . . _ . .....'..1...... 2.. HOW TO PA('K PARCELS FOR SOLDIERS AT THE PRON T .
