The going was atrocious | !‘ over terrain that had become an all !but impassable swamp: pillâ€"boxes and strong points were thickly dotted, across their front. The 3rd Battalion | was on the extreme left of the Canaâ€" |dian Corps for the day‘s attack (Nov. !6, 1917), which had jumped off at six ‘a.m. under the usual steady drizzle. The Battalion‘s most formidable obâ€"; gstable was a redoubt manned by the! ‘aforesaid three machineâ€"guns, and built \ amid the stone foundations of a vanâ€", i ished farmâ€"house. It was known in | | Operation Orders and on military maps | as "Vine Cottage" though the verdure ; which must have inspired its dubbing had long since vanished under the proâ€" | longed barraging and the mud. Throughout the Pirst German War there was no battle scene where huiman courage had to rise higher, where the British soldier‘s fortitude was more harshly tried and his valorous spirit was more weighed down by mud, rain and weariness than in the Battle in the Bog, which was Passchendaele. i ‘There was little to inspire great deeds and spectacular episodesâ€"atâ€"arms in | that shellâ€"stirred sea of slime where the Canadians fought for a f3othold on | Passchendaele Ridge. The unceasing, dull autumn rains cast a general pall of gloom over the caving, mudâ€"walled trenchâ€"world, and the deadâ€"weary men who struggled through the desolate waste of waterâ€"filled craters would have been forgiven if they had been at their lowest eb of heart and morale. ' It was in that dispiriting fight in which all hopes for dash and swiftâ€" moving action should have been bogged down and dissipated in rain and gloom that \Corporal |Colin Barron, a powerful broadshouldered young Lewisâ€"gunner of the 3rd Canadian Battalion, first stalkâ€" ed a heavilyâ€"manned German machineâ€" gun nest and then went berserk among the crews. Barron‘s was a deed of reckless bravâ€" ery and furious handâ€"toâ€"hand fighting, the kind which most of us conjure in our imaginations as one which most natitrally fits the bestowal of a Vicâ€" otria Cross. It was sudden and specâ€" tacular, rather than an achievement of sustained courage and fine leaderâ€" ship, and it was fortunate that it did not go unobserved in the heat of acâ€" tion or pass unseen in the confusien of night attack. After Barron charged headlong into a strongâ€"post manned with three macâ€" hineâ€"guns and their crews, he had no means of shooting. His only weapon was a riflie without a bolt. With the bavonet and buttâ€"end he disabled four of Canada are employing dirg ly 40,000 people.

The Municipal a would lose their only source It is to the eternal honor of the Ausâ€" tralian, New Zealand, British and Canadian, soldiers that they were often able to ‘rise high above mere duty in that desperate fight in the mud. They seemed to discover new and unplumbed springs of courage and defiance within them to answer the combined chalâ€" lenge of the enemy and the elements. At Passchendaele, under conditions so terrible that Ludendorff described them as "not short of suffering unspeakable", a number of Canadian officers and men achieved what is, perhaps, the most glorious series of heroic deeds that, is recorded in the battle story of the Canadian Corps.

Then, comâ€" pletely exposing himself to their almost pointâ€"blank fire, Barron opened his Lewisâ€"gun on them with sharp bursts. Two Maxims were silenced in the short furious duel, as their startled crews took cover. The third gun, blocked from Barron‘s view, hammered on keeping a‘full company pinned down. Before the German machineâ€"gunners of the two nearest Maxims could reâ€" cover from their surprise, Barron *old his crew to cover him as best they could and with reckless impetuosity charged into the redoubt alone. There was a mild melee in the confined space of the strongâ€"post for a few moments, with Barron using the bayonet and clubbed butt of an old rifle he had picked up, with terrible effect. He killed or wounded every man in two machineâ€"gun crews, As the third crew bolted in terror from the mud and bloodâ€"splashed Canadian, the supportâ€" ing German infantry broke with them.
