i'bo a forest, where during the whole r'; the night,- under fire of French

.: tells, they were compelled to bury •C or man dead. They had to carry the corpses on their shoulders a distance of 300 yards from the trenches to readymade graves.

At daybreak girls and women were feebly crawling along the- ground dragging corpses by the legs and arms.
