The sergeant and his men escaped, though the fumes dazed them and made their eyes water and pain. . . . The Germans had opened a furious bombardment, throwing a screen of shrapnel all over the communication trenches by which the Canadians might have retired. Then, while the yellow vapour sagged slowly down the hill to the regimental head- quarters, where men were coughing and retching, the expected rush came. A line of grey-green forms came lumbering up at a run, expecting to find trenches dese...rted save for a few strangling victims. "There was not much of the devil in the appearance of the sorry line of Winnipeg Riflemen that awaited the onslaught. Vomiting and coughing and straining for breath, with dead-white or bluish faces and with watering eyes, they stood up at the parapet firing as steadily as at the butts. A timely warning to the guns had got them busy on the advancing Germans, and heroes like our sergeant were at the machine guns mowing down the advancing lines. The attack was beaten off and the line held fast.
