On another occasion our troops waited for the wall of vapour,.in.Chist at Home. and then charged through and met the advancing Germans with bayonet".

South of St. Jalign the denseness of the tapour compelled us to evacuate the trenches, Sut reinforcemeals arrived and charged the essay before they could establish themselves in the position. Large numbers were mown by our artillery, men failing in heaps, and others scattering and running, back to their ove lines. Many of the Germans perished in the gas fumes.

A captured Geman Lieutenant stated that the British fire at St. Julien Wo especially effective, and that the enemy broke and ded to the rear.

Eye-witness also relates the hitherto unorded feat of British infantry in bolding a small position north of Zonnebeks. Throughout the fighting the garrison held firm andern zaking artillery Ere from all sides, and repeated saults. This resistance was all the roore noteworthy as the men knew that the troops from whom help might be expected were retreating. This is the hardest task that any soldiers can be asked to endures.

The narrativo pays a tribute to the steadiness of the Indian troops. A battalion of Pathans, after a forced march, were advancing along a road towards the front when a shell burst in the middle of them killing and wounding aixteen... The survivors were unmoved, and simply closed up and marched on? Immediately they entered action they advanced across 1200 rúrds of open gronad under a murderous tire, their war cry selling above the din. Their English officer, who was hit four times, continued to lend his men until he fell riddled with bullets from a machine gun.
