Going round the salient one day with General Burstall and a very good name, too! who was then the Canadian gunner-general, I was horrified at the way in which the enemy had the accurate range of our guns and gun-pits and knocked them out with deadly shooting.
How reconcile that urbane gunner-general, a genius among experts you were told, as the master of a thunderous magic which shot its deadly lightnings over the German area! Let him move a red pin on the map and a tractor was towing a nine-inch gun to a new position; a black pin and a battery of eighteen pounders took the road.
Some bug had bitten me up in the fields where lay the unburied dead. "Trench fever," said the doctor. "You look in need of a rest," said the matron. "My word, how white you are! Had a hard time, eh, like the rest of them?" I lay in bed at the end of the officers' ward, with only one other bed between me and the wall. That was occupied by the gunner-general of the New Zealand Division.
