"All the time I was on guard." he says, "there were hardly two consecutive hours of daylight that did not see the enemy dropping more than an occasional shell into tho bay. They had the range all right, and had their ammunition been as good as their shooting my name would have appeared in a casualty list ere this. Fancy yourself .leaning* against a pile of full ammunition boxes'-whilst a shell happened along and buried itself in the ground a stride in front of you. Did it burst? If I get home ill tell you." Laace-Cor-noral R«und mentions that Privato J. Rcnnie. who was a member of the Press Company's stait bo;ore enlisting, Lad been promoted to the rank of corporal, and that Lieutenant Skelton way shot dead at tho head of n;<i men during an attack.
