A GALLANT FOE.

Hero is a remarkable story of bow a corporal in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment died in' tho recent fighting on the Vimy Ridge. "One ol our chaps," writes a comrade ol the dead man, "-was so upset by the cries of a wounded German that he crawled out on his hands and knees to help the lad to come in. He got to him, and the two started back to the crater. The machine, gun fire increased, and both were hit. Later we found both dead, holding each other's arms. The act made a great impression upon our Hun prisoners, and several of them asked to %be present when tho dead Lancashire lad and the German he had died for were laid in the same grave."
