As we moved forward and lay down we could hear the thudding of the picks as they were driven into the ground, and from somewhere in the darkness ahead the plick-plock of the sniper began. Captain H , our new company commander, passed down the line to warn us to count our men and see that all bayonets were fixed and magazines loaded.
From somewhere in rear a battery of French "seventy-fives" opened up with their ear-splitting reports, and we could see the outlines of the ruined farm ahead of us silhouetted against the crimson flashes of their bursting shrapnel. But of the enemy there was no sign nothing but the arching trail of the flares that shot up and the steady plick-plock of the snipers. It was most trying.
