  BATTLES
  

  John Duesbury of

  is in the 1st Battalion Sher-

  wood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment),

  and has been at the front since March 3rds.

  He was in Germany on the L & Y. P.

  steamer Douglas, at Hamburg, at the begin

  ning of August, and the vessel had some

  difficultly to get away.  However, they left

  the Elbe on August Bank Holiday, and

  when they arrived at Goole the boat was

  up. Duesbury went to work at Not-

  tingham gasworks, and remained until Nov.

  and , when he enlisted, and was sent to

  Plymouth for training.  In five months he

  was in the firing line. After being at the

  front just a week, he joined in the battle of

  Neuve Chapelle, and so terrible  was this

  engagement that his regiment, 1150 strong

  the start, came out with only 400 men.

  Other regiments lost equally heavily. Priv.

  Duesbury writes: - ''I thank God He spared 

  me to get safely out of it. No one can

  what batttkeflied is like:

  until they see it with their own eyes.

  they realise the real thing.  In the 

  trenches we took before we took the village,

  the Germans had feather beds, pots and

  pans, and all sorts of furniture, and even

  women's clothes were found in their dug-

  . It was terrible to see our poor fellows

  who were wounded, and the stretcher-

  bearers who were attending to them, get-

  blown to pieces by the German artil-

  ery as they were going to the first-said

  ation.  I came out of it safe and well, 

  and we had a week's rest to get put up to'

  our proper strength again.  We lost 700

  men and all our officers except two.  We

  were inspected by Field-Marshal General

  ench a fortnight later, and he gave us a

  good word for the gallant work we had

  ne. After that we started going into the

  trenches again - three days in and and three

  days out; but we shifted a little further

  up the line into some fresh trenches, and

  we were in these for eight weeks, preparing

  for an attack made on the 9th May. We

  were told two days before the charge was

  ade what we had to take, and we

  week's rest before we went in, to get fit.

  We went into the trenches on Saturday

  night, as the bombardment was due to com-

  mence on Sunday morning at four o'clock.

  Our artillery shelled their trenches from

  half an hour, breaking them up, and then

  we made a charge, and they started with

  their Maxim guns and rapid fire.  We ad-

  venced in the face of a shower of bullets,

  and shifted the Germans out of the trench,

  and advance about five miles.  We lost

  heavily, but nothing compared with them.

  We lost most of our men from their artil-

  ery firing into our trenches and stopping

  our reinforcements coming up.   Many of

  our wounded going out and stretcher

  hearers were killed.  Our generals said they 

  never saw men so cool under shell fire as

  we were. Our regiment lost about half the

  battalion and six officers. I am thankful to

  say I got safely out of this engagement too.

  I can account for putting a few of the

  brutes out of actions. I have not seen any

  of the Goole Territorials yet, but I know

  they will do their bit when called upon. All

  my mates are in the K.O.Y.L.I; but they

  are good lads in the Sherwood Foresters,

  too''.
