the batteries. A few nights ago 1 made my first
trip up the line, with a convoy of six motor

from which each assistant truck master
chose two trucks. We loaded up with ammunition,
fuses and charges, and at six o'clock, made our way
to the place where our gfiiide met us, near the
danger zone. The road in places was very bad,
and a little careless driving might have sent a
truck down a twenty-five or fifty-foot embankment.
We reached our destination without any
mishap, and unloaded our trucks. A shell burst
within a few hundred feet of the nearest machine,
but of course was not near enough to do any
damage. The constant flash from the guns gave
the appearance of a city fighting up at night.
On the trip up, the results of shell fire were
evident everywhere.
We saw villages totally demolished, huge holes in the ground caused by the
bursting of shells, and, where once there were
churches, only steeples left on their supports amid
the ruins. It was all most interesting, and doubly
so because of the element of danger.
The Germans have maps of all roads and cross roads, and
trains going up are, of course, continually subject
