Published on 9 March 1915
The author of this narrative was on the staff of the 'Dundee Advertiser' at the outbreak of war. He joined the 4th Territorial Battalion of the Black Watch. Magnificently does he describe the sensations of himself and his civilian chums when going with the Bareilly Brigade of the Meerut Division into the holocaust of Neuve Chapelle, their first taste of battle. Mr. Linton Andrews continued his journalistic career after the war and became editor of the 'Leeds Mercury'.
