ONE MAN’S TALE OF
THEB1G “PUSH”
Thoy wore doing things along the
Somme; the Teuton forces were bring
pushed slowly back toward the dlcn.
distant frontier. But all the pushing
meant that men and men were dying,
and men and men were being sent
buck to the hospitals to recuperate
for more of the dusty, bloody work. A
Scotsman, wounded in the camp",gt
for Pozieres, gives, according to tha
London Telegraph, a graphic and
character,s\iu p,ciurr of the battling.
We read.
"Eh, mon, it was hell, but It was
B and. We've got a move on at last,
and are paying the Huns out. For
over a week our guns have been letting
rip at them. Talk about the German
guns in the early days of the war,
they are not In It now. X was in the
retreat from Mons, 30 1 reckon I’ve
3een some of the fighting.
“I got my packet Friday night," he
added, referring to his wounds. "We
were pushed up to our front-line
trenches early Friday morning. Long
before daybreak the guns were at It
worse than ever. The noise fair drove
some fellows daft, but the worst of
all was waiting in the trenches for
the order to charge. When that came
wo wore over the top like a lot of
dogs let loose. The ground was
churned up for radios, and tho front
of the Gorman trenches almply
smashed to bits. We got there under
pover of smoke, and fairly rolled In.
I shall never forget the sight. The
Germans were lying heaped up In all
..irectlons, and those who were alive
showed no fight, but appeared to have
gone ’clean potty.
"Further on we got into the sup
ports, which had received a terrific
smashing about, and it was there we
had the scrap. At the last moment
it seemed the Germans had rushed a
crowd of chaps in, and they had hid
den themselves in shell-holes and
were taking pot-shots at us. We
rushed them with the bayonet and
bomb3, and some of them put up a
good fight. 1 had one fellow in front
of me, and felt myself a 'goner,' for
I tumbled over some wire, when one
of our chaps got his bayonet into him.
The next second a German 'outed' my
chum. 'Never fear, Jack,' he said,
‘you did the same trick for me one'’.'
That chap's left a wife and six bairns
away up north,” ndded the Scot.
Asked how he received his wounds,
the Scot became somewhat bashful.
"Oh, one of the H11113 got In at me,”
lie replied. Another wounded hero,
however, took up th< narrative. ‘‘He
fair tumbled into a hole where there
was half a dozen of 'em hiding," said
raid the second man. “Jock comes of
a fighting race, and 11 e gave the Huns
a bit for hiding.”
