  Explode with a very thick Black Smoke

  and a very Destructive Shell if you

  were near enough to them when they Burst

  well our Section about 9 of us had just

  got settled down in our Billet in Houses

  this time 9 in a room and being as it was

  getting Fine Weather now Late in May and

  it was Tea time we were all sitting ouside

  of our house and we had just got our

  Letters up First for about 2 or 3 Weeks 

  and a few Parcels of Food sent from home

  and we were just settling down to Enjoy

  a nice tea when a big shell burst in

  a Garden close by but done no damage

  but we all had a Laugh at the way the

  People run about Excited in the Street

  when the next one dropped right in

  front of us cause we all went Flat when

  we heard it coming and when the  smoke

  cleared I got up allright and my chums

  well 3 others who were with me Laid

  there I said come on get up I thought

  they were shaming but when I turne done

  Fellow over he started Groaning then I

  realized they had been hit I dragged him

  there and undone his tunic to see where

  he was hit but could see no mark but

  he was unconsous so while one man went

  to fetch the Doctor I dragged the other

  two into the House and then discovered

  that the First one was Dead just Breathed

  his Last and he had that Lovely smile

  of Death on his Face which I had so
