To-day we are enjoying an uiius- ually bright Flemish sunshine. In _ fact it reminds me of `an April day in Canada. Of course, we have no melting snow drifts, but the birds are chirping gaily, and the atnios- phere has a balmy "warmth `about it that carries ,one `back to spring- V time in old Ontario. We are rest- ing after our session in the front line. Mud is disappearingfroin `curl uniforms, towels and soap are ren- ovating our soiled hands and faces -to be soiled out here means .to be. thickly }cov_ered .with soil or clay -ries and equipment are being thoroughly cleaned and before night we will have the appearance of a ` ..sinart barraek-square regiment. As for myself I think I will write a few letters and then -iiidulge in a real sleep, undisturbed by whiz-bangs, ries, grenades, etc. Of late we have had-some very lively entertainnients up'at the front. In this stalemate { game which both sides have been playing during. the winter months the idea has been to harass the en- -emy as much as possible. Of course, the.most convenient method of doing this is to strafe Fritz with the artillery. Our field artillery developed the nasty habit of let- -ting loose a salvo of whiz-bangs at I the most unearthly ho_urs'~ of the night into the Boches front line while the heavy batteries and big 1 howitzers have persisted in disar- .1 ranging their works by indiscriinin- G `Lately dropping missiles iveigliiiig, from 60 to 100 pounds into their 3 positions. These tactics always 1' peeve our neighbor and usually in- cur his wrath, When such is the d case he repays in kind and then it is that we poor innocent infantry in " `the front line call down choice bles- sings on our stupid artillery who, a A fain back hehiiid us,.enjoy the sport 9 of etrafhng, without once stopping to consider how we like Fritz s retalia-I tion. Being the butt of a joke in, 1 l i ( i i i t '1 '1 1 3 1 these artillery duels has not appeal- ed to us and long ago we conceived the idea of doing a little straffing `of our own. Of course, we had to resort to methods suited to our re- quirements. There are the Germans just across the way four or ve` hundred yards. ,Nothing to keep us away but a good, strong trench, gar- risoned with ries, machine guns,` and bomb depots. Of course if we startover,` Fritz would shoot us, so that we decided that the only meth- od that would be successful would be- those of the sneak thief, and those we have used on several oc- casions. - -You have no doubt read of small parties entering the enemy tl lines and returning with prisoners. -I will give you an idea how it is possible for a small bombing party to carry outthis stunt,` Before pro- 7 ceeding it ,might be interesting _to `learn that last," fall the Canadian div- `ision -was the first `to inaugurate this winter sport, in the western front. I might also say that it was a regiment in the second brigade, though not the `-` Little Black Dev- ils, that first demonstrated that it could be done. . Since that first suc- `cessful sortie by the British Colum- bia's, when they entered a German ' "trench, bombed it for three hundred yards, killing about forty Geri_nans rand bringing back thirteen prison- . ears, with a `loss to themselves of one 'man accidentally shot, the feat has 7h`e'eii `repeated by all four regiments iii the second brigade, and by'1}8.1'- A 'ly' every division along ' the quieter `parts of the` line. ` `The prowess.

Under cover of darkness we crawl out into `no-man s-land with our fac- es andhands .blacke_ned and our bad- ges removed, in order that nothing may reect the light of the trench ares, which are constantly being shot, up from the trenches, illumin- ating the intervening ground. ,,As weapons We carry a heavy calibre automatic and four or ve hand grenades. These are- the most suit- able; and convenient articles of of- fence and defence in no-man s-land. ` A rie impedes crawling and is therefore, a nuisance, rather than being of any use. Byeareful work it is quite possible to crawl up to the German wire and become ac- quainted' with the enemy listening posts and the location -of their sen- tries in the trench. These scout- ing expeditions furnish many ex- citing and thrilling exploits. Some- times. an enemy patrol is encount- ered. Very often both parties pre- fer _to gracefully withdraw, whenever We think we have the drop on the other party, we open up. If the surmise is correct and the first intimation the enemy has .of our -presence is the explosion of three or four grenades, the , victory V is complete. But we have had occas- ions when we have had casualties ourselves, but` never yet have they element of surprise set'tles,the'se mix-ups. The reason why we so often surprise the1_n is because we patrol in par-- lties of three, whereas the Germans never come out with less than ten or twelve. It is obvious. that a large` party is more easily detected ' than a small one, and therefore are totally unaware that their V every movement is being watched. by a small party which they cannot de- tect.
