Their trenches were heavily shelled from early morning until night, were enfiladed by shrapnel ard Maxim fire, broken down and blown in by high-explosive heavy-howitzer shells, their machine-guns being buried under hears of earth, and officers and men were struck down on all sides. Every telephone-wire to the headquarters was destroyed early in the day and messages for reinforcements could not get gh to headquarters. Ammunition began to run short, but tenaciously, with dogged, unshaken fortitude, the fast-dwindling remnant of the battalion held on, beating back several advances , towards their section of the line by the Germans. They dug out their buried machine-guns and used them afresh time and again, until all were disabled. So they fought on, and then at h help was able to reach them. The cool intre-dity of the snipers of the battalion saved the survivors of the Princess Patricia’s from annihilation by managing to carry back news state of things to the troops in reserve. A Lieutenant and three junior officers with I5o men were all the survivors out of 635 present at roll-call on the previous evening.
