A dozen Dublin Fusiliers who arrived at Boulogne state that 100 of their regiment were marching on the road when they were subjected to a terrific hail of bnlelts from thousands of Germans who were ambushed in the fields on both sides. Scores were killed. The escapees hid for six days in a barn. They buried their uniforms and dodged the Germans and reached Boulogne. They are fit and are rejoining their regiment at the front.
