_A Death among the Wounded in the Snow._] About this time an officer told me a good story about my friend, Carroll Carstairs.

The Cambrai battle was on, and the Grenadier Guards were advancing through a village.

Carroll was with a brother officer, and said suddenly, "Look at the shape of that church now! Isn't it magnificent ?" Another shell shrieked and hit the structure, and he said, "Damn! the fools have spoilt it." I believe it was during this battle he earned the M.C.
My brother became very popular with those he met in France.

Too popular, indeed, with the girls in the hotel at Amiens to please Maude or myself.

Maude and I used to complain about it.
