A Jack Johnson burst over the shell hole into which Pat and Mike had
crawled. “Oi’ve been shot in the foot,” said Pat. Mike immediately placed
Pat on his shoulder and started for the hospital. On his way there
another shell took off Pat’s head. Arriving at the first aid station, the
sentry hailed Mike.
“No use bringing any dead men in here,” he said. “That fellow’s head has
been shot off.”
“Why, the son-of-a-gun,” exclaimed Mike, “he told me it was his foot.”
