The Germans have a funny way in fighting. Their infantry when advancing
fire from the hip and come on in masses, splendid targets for our guns.
As soon as one lot gets mowed down the gaps are filled up with fresh
men. They are in terrible numbers--about ten to one in some places.
Nearly all the men’s wounds are shrapnel, and heal wonderfully. Men
almost cripples a day or two ago are going on splendidly since being
treated here. My worst wound is on the right arm, a piece of flesh torn
away, but with good dressing it should heal up well: _Bombardier A. E.
Smith_.
