BOYS IN THE RANKS
. — 9 ! THE GERMANS' LAST ARMYP "On Sunday morning -we wero sent to reinforce an infantry Tegiment crossing some open ground. We were seen by the enemy's ■ artillery, who at once opened fire. They got tho exact range at first 6hot, and. we were ordered to lie flat. Our meii lay over a whole field, and no fewer than twenty shells. fell amongst us. Yet when we got order to advance every man of the'squ'adron stood up. There wero over two hundred men, and not one had received a scratch. "The Germans, I-honestly think, have their last army in the field, as some of the prisoners aro hardly sixteen: We sometimes capture men with civilian clothes, the only distinction being a helmet, whilst other prisoners are well past middle age; all of which goes to show they are nearing the end of their resources."—From Cbrporal Greaves, 10th Royal Hussars.
