know we could do nothing for them. It
would take Borne of them Six to nlno
hours to stagger back to the drcralng

"Of course, we talked to aa many of
the men as possible. In this way we
would get R ery vivid picture of what
had happened, but It would have to be
supplemented nt dlv Islonal headquarters.

cover nbout four divisions In ono morn
ing. Wo would carry on In this wny
until afternoon, probaby visiting the
corps headquarters on our way back.
There we would get dnlalla of later
events from the divisions we had cov
ered earlier.
"We'd get hark to coriespondence
headquarters pome time In the afternoon
and start writing like mad. Whllo we
wrote our stuff was being censored.
Not llenvlly Cemored
"The publlo seems to have had a bogy
In their heads that we were heavily cen
sored. This was riot so. Of course, we
had to hide the Order of battle from the
enemy, and therefore the censorship of
mention of regiments waa ferocious.
Until we knew the enemy knew the lo-
i cation pf a certain unit, of course we
couldn't mention It. Thl? brings me to
a point that hasn't heen explained. All
the Kngllsh peouie saw mat tne Ausira
Han and Cahadlan troops were men
tioned over and over again when British
tioops who had been fighting with them
In the same battles were not mentioned,
This was not favoritism. It was due to
the fact that the Australians and Cana
dians always worked In corps forma
tions. If one of them was captured, the
boche knew the location of the whole
corps. Rut If a Warwickshire man or a
soldier of the Kaat Kent, Buffs, Ijndon,
Scottish or any other of tho home regi
ments wae taken, It didn't give away
anything at all, as their battalions were
distributed through the whole army. So
we didn't dare mention the location of
one ot these battalions aa a unit. Over
and over again there would be a bailie,
as in the capture of Vlmy Ridge one of
the most glorious things In history
when we couldn't mention that on the
right of the Canadians were the Fifty,
first Highland Dlvlrlon, who took more
prisoners than the Canadians them
selves. Of course, we were not allowed
to give details of casualties and were
not allowed to criticize military opera
