After their victory at the Grand Bois de Cam- bron the Gordons extricated themselves from a death-trap by fearless initiative.

great ferocity.

With tremendous courage, the Gordons held their ground against overwhelming num- bers until the vastly superior weight of the German attack began to tell.

Just when they were about to settle down for breakfast, "C" Company, who were in reserve, received news that "A" Company had been sur- rounded in front of Gouy and moved up to extricate them.

In artillery formation they worked round the far side of Manering under heavy shell- fire. Capt. Donald Alexan- der, the company commander, and his second in command. Lt. Barker, drew up a plan of campaign. Two platoons were to go forward and take up positions on a ridge, with com- pany headquarters and a re serve platoon guarding the

rear.

Under intense fire, the two platoons made their way to the front of the ridge and dia- covered where "A" Company had been by a mangled motor cycle that had apparently been hit by

& shell. As they spread out along the ridge they could hear the movements

of "A" Company in the valley below. Their Bren guns were firing.

Down below the ridge, out of "C" Company, the forward platoon of "A" Company, un- der P. S. M. Carnochan, who showed great presence of mind and clear judgment, were pre- paring to make a stand.

The Germans had driven them back, and the Sergeant- Major had just told L. Cpl. Kennedy to go back for more ammunition when a dispatch rider arrived. His motor cycle had been shot from under him. It was the mangled cycle scen by Capt. Alexander and Lt. Barker.

Told of the platoon's danger by the dispatch rider, P, S. M. Carnochan decided to retire.

Keeping up fire with a Ger- he had man Tommy gun picked up, the Sergeant-Major covered the withdrawal of his platoon to a canal. They crawled along the bank, and eventually he made them get into the water because they were still being sniped, For four miles they waded, some- times waist-deep until they reached company headquar ters at Gouy.

Evidently the Germans be- lieved that a strong force oc- cupied the ridge, for they sent a terrific barrage of shells, about sixty a minute, and the position became too hat to hold.

over

Captain Alexander ordered Barker to take one platoon back along the top of the "ridge, while he took the other along the valley. "Then one of us will be sure to get back,' he said,

It was he who was destined never to reach his own lines. As he was following behind his platoon with two or three others, he heard a movement among some trees. "Where's "A" Company?" he shouted.

A voice replied: "'A' Com- pany is over here."

Capt. Alexander and the others made in the direction of the voice, but as he drew near he was wounded.

The voice belonged to a Ger- man officer in charge of a party following up the with drawal of "A" Company. And here occurred -an incident which-revealed-a-strango-mix- ture of sporting instinct and brutality on the part of the German officer-one of those inexplicable warps in Ger- man character,

With a bullying voice he or- dered his squad to cease fire. One man disregarded the or- der and the officer shot him..

Next moment he made Capt. Alexander comfortable and turned to the other Gordon Highlanders. He offered them a start of 200 yards to escape with their lives. It was an offer they readily accepted anl took to their heels. All of them got away.

Meantime Lt. Barker's platoon was carefully picking its way along the ridge with shells dropping all around them. Lt: Barker Was wounded in the leg and was. limping back with his men.

Help was coming quickly. Elsewhere along the front, Lieut. Basil Brooke, son of Major A. Brooke of Fairley, was skilfully disposing his nine Bren gun carriers to hold up the waves of Germans coming over on the battalion front. They were divided up into sections of three firing at the Germans who were com- ing forward on foot, on motor cycles and on armoured cars. They had brought them to `a halt.

Lieut. Brooke ordered Sergt. Preston to go to the as- sistance of "C" Company. As the three carriers rolled along the road at a high speed, one of them ran into the German' lines and was never seen again.

With his two remaining carriers, Sergt. Preston selected positions in an or chard, which provided him with excellent cover. It was fairly open country and hid guns dominated a wide ex

He waited and then panse. "C" Company came in sight. With them were some men from the Kensingtons.

Less than 300 yards behind them came the first wave of the Germans just appearing over a rise in the ground in extended formation. Now and then Gordons and Kensing- tons halted to fire at the Ger- mans.

Sergt. Preston and his crews then "let fly." They got the range immediately and the Germans wavered. The Bren guns maintained a devastating fire and the Nazis broke. "C" Company and the Kensingtons came through.

It had been a pretty desper atc situation until the Bren guns appeared, but Lt. Barker and the remnant of the two platoons got safely out of the Germans reach. For nearly half an hour the Bren guns held the waves of German in- fantry at bay.

As Lt. Barker's party strug- gled back on foot they were sniped at all the way. They stopped at one village and tried to harness a horse to a cart to get the wounded' back. The horse was unbroken and looked like causing more dam- age than the Germans, so they abandoned the project.

They carried on their way, those who had been unhurt helping the wounded along, until they were overtaken by Sergeant Preston and his car- riers. The wounded were then placed on board and taken to the Recelving Aid Post.
