Libel Suit Called "Waste Of Time"

The Epic of the "51st” In the Battle of France By G. E. Ley Smith

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

4. Gordons Fight Their Way

Through to Freedom

Watchfully, the Gordons waited for the oncoming Ger- mans on the morning after the withdrawal from le Grand Bois de Cambron. They had not long to wait. The Nazis launched a heavy attack, hurl- ing themselves against the battalion lines with grent 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 dis- 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.

L

Down below the ridge, out of "C" Company, the forward platoon of "A" Company, un- der P. S. M. Carnochan, who ahowed 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 rlder 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.

Company to some extent and gave them a chance to get clear.

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

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 ani incident which revealed a strange 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 firé. 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 and took to their heels. All of

them got away.

Lt. Barker was wounded in the leg and was limping back with his men.

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- mana.

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

It had been a pretty despor- ate 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 aniped 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 Receiving Aid Post.

With the rapidly-changing scene Sgt. Preston had difficulty in and- ing Battalion Headquarters, which was now moving, from place to place. He discovered a discarded motor cycle, with which fie went on ahead to try to And Head- quarters,

Reaching a fork, he chose to go to the fight, but he had not gone far, before he found R.S.M. Leel's truck lying on the road riddled with machine-gun bullets. Near it lay another of the battalion's trucks.
