To those at home, I suppose, it will appear strange that an incident of that kind would not be almost too moving.

At the front, however, death did not seem to be such a terrible thing--it was part of our life and something to be expected and met uncomplainingly.

Every morning, until we moved, I had a Celebration of the Holy Communion in the church at eight o'clock, and every evening I had Evensong at six.

I was told long afterwards that when General Horne paid his first visit to our Battle Headquarters, he pointed to the little iron structure with its belfry and white cross, and asked what it was.

When they told him it was a church, he said, "A church! Now I know why the Canadians won Vimy Ridge." Unfortunately, the point of the observation was lost by the fact that the church was built, not before, but after we had taken the Ridge.
When we left Arriane Dump, I handed over the church to the Senior Chaplain of the British division which took our place, and he had the building taken down, put in lorries, and re-erected in the village of Roclincourt, where he adorned it with a painted window of St.George and the Dragon.
Along the Arras-Bethune road are various cemeteries where the men of the different battalions are buried.
