We rushed to the heads of the various streets, where our German foe would advance. Our Field Artillery and the Coldstream Guards went out to delay their advance whilst we stripped off our coats and commenced to tear up the square setts, gather carts in fact, everything that would build a barricade to keep back our numerous German foe, and we did so under perfect showers of shrapnel shell that struck and fell around us, and struck the houses about us, but we were undaunted, and so succeeded. Fir...ing ceased, and we advanced out towards the Coldstream Guards' position. They had given them a good fight, but many of them lay for ever silent upon the ground. The Germans would not advance upon us, so we retired. 128 In the Firing Line Letter 49. From Corporal Sam Moorhouse, of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, to his wife at Birkby : Our company were reserves, and came under fire about noon. We were in a ditch as we thought safe when " Ping ! ping ! " came the bullets, and off we shot across the open, under a railway embankment.
