Coiriadicins Wratling Back Control Of No.Man's Land Canadian a Soft Writer IN KOREA (CP)--Slowly the Canadians are wresting back from the Chinese control of no man's land in their sector. For more than a year they were its masters. Several times the Chi- Best con title, but each allenge was hurled back. Their Bo attmpt, last Oct. 23, resulted the victory of Little Gibraltar Mur for the 1st battalion, the Canadian Regiment. Ro United Nations lost that con- trol during February and March when the Canadians, with the rest went into Jeserve, By the time they moved k April 6 the Chinese ouned ihe Jerritory, Were nipping f outposts a) a , virtu- ally lived on the UN wire, and the relieving formabion in those two months had lost 500 killed, woun- ded and missing--more than the entire Commonwealth division had guttered during the whole preced- ing y ALLARD TAKES OVER Maj.-Gen. Michael West and his brigade commanders' assignment in 'early April was nothing less than to regain the lost control of no man's land Initial responsibility in the Cana- dian sector was Brig. M. P. Bo- gert's. It since has gone to Brig. Jean Allard, who relieved Bogert April 22. Bogert now is home on debarkation leave. Bogert's policy was the twofold one of restoring the positions' own securit; Js endering them safer in case of attack--and of getting the pattern of the enemy's activity. He plotted where they were, what they had and what they did, how Shey came in onto is positions, and what they tried to do. Slowly, bit by bit, the picture was built up. His first battalions in were the d Patricias and the 1st Van Doos. ey re-sited their weapon posi- tions, deepened thei trenches and strengthened their walls. They sank and improved their bunkers. SLOW AND STEADY Minefields were relaid ahead of the positions, barbed-wire entangle- ments and barricades were re- rung. Kk was a slow, steady job--night- work on the forward slopes, around the clock on the reverse slopes. xnéemy shelling and mortar fire in"t make it easier. - WP And all the while the observa- Y.W.C.A.

Gradually the patrol depth in- creased. Now Canadian patrols regularly reach half-way .over to the Chinese positions. One of them spoiled the surprise of the Chi- nese attack May 2 which caused at least 62 Canadian casualties. The Van , now en route home, were relieved by the 3rd Battalion, the Royal Canadian Regi- zest. CHEERFUL SOLDIERS Says Lt.-Col. Ken Campbell of Petawawa, Ont., CO of the newly- arrived RCR: "I'm still being amazed at the cheerfulness of the patrols. They show no signs of strain at all, even thou h we're new at it. ey're confident, too. They sit out there on the valiey floor, pull- ing down mortar fire all over the place. You've got to be sure in the dark that you know where you are, and that the mortars also know where you are, to do that. Two or three patrols have called for fire'wi within 150 yards of themselves-- which is close." Not entirely successful yet are Canadian attempts to "suck in and seal off" Chinese groups. The en- emy still get away. One enemy party actually took down 75 yards of Canadian wire to show that it had "twigged" before making off-- without a Canadian being the wiser until a returning patrol luckily dis- covered it. GHOULISH TACTICS The Patricias on successive nights eame across decayed UN bodies, dead for months. 'When three had been discovered on ground thoroughly covered previ- ously by patrols, Maj. Charles MacNeill of Victoria, acting com- manding officer, decided the Chi- nese were planning an ambush. Bogert's and Allard's policy is paying off in another way. Slowly, steadily and solidly, that process of regaining mastery goes on. One day, perhaps not too dis- tant, the brigade again will con- trol its Share of no man's land and be be sble to dispatch its patrols at CROSSWORD PUZZLE DOWN 1. Devise 2. Hail! 3. River (Chin.) 4.
