Out |side of seeing hundreds of planes land hearing the barrage at night, we felt very safe, but on the night of July 14, when the great offensive started, we heard very heavy liring I and in an hour tho high explosive shells came over. We were certainly frightened and when we heard them bursting outside our windows we jumped out of bed and just then were told to put on our gas masks.

We went out under heavy shell lire to a dugout where every one eventually landed safely. We later operated as the cases were brought in and I'll admit that it is a nerve-racking job when one does not know if one Is to be spared or not. Later, at daylight, the hofJfcital was deliberately shelled, and we had to flee to the dugout until evacua tion was ordered and we left about 9 a. m. in trucks —tired, dirty and frightened and rode about thirty miles to another hospital, where we operated all that night and the throe succeeding nights. "Right here 1 want to say that If the women at home could realize what it means to us at times like these to have those front line pack ets, pads, etc., which they make for us, they would gladly sacrifice the time and money required to send them, as up in these front line hos pitals nurses have no time to make dressings of any kind." | HUSBAND SAFE ACROSS WATERS Mrs. C.
