General Seely my great appreciation of his fine work on many occasions.He gave me the most valuable information, and never spared himself in any way whatever.My personal thanks are due to him.It is

army.They paid a heavy price, but they paid t without faltering The task of confronting the battalions attacking Loos and Hill 70 was not easy.It meant a charge across level fields, through three lines of barbed wire, past slagheaps, a hand-to- hand struggle for mastery of the German first line trench and then for the second line trenches, the trenches of communication and the intervening dug-outs filled with the enemy.These were cleared and the trenches won.There remained another dash across fields and the high road studded with unknown obstacles and visible entanglements until the western edge of Loos was reached.Then came the silencing of machine-gun batteries and house-to-house fighting, with plenty of cellar-to- cellar searches for hidden enemies and constant pressure through narrow streets eastward to the open field beyond where the final rush would carry them to Hill 70 for fresh fighting at close quarters and the endurance of a galling fire from a kind of machine-gun fort until its guns could be silenced.Altogether, it was a journey of per- .haps three miles and serious resistance was encountered.When the attackers came up to the cemetery it was alive with ma- chine-gun parties sheltered behind the low earth on parapets raised among the graves.Even tombstones were used as a cover in addition to a trench dug at the upper end of the cemetery.\u201d
