it was then we Frenchmen witnessed something we shall never forget. One man dashed forward to his task in the open, only to fall dead. An- other, and another, and another followed him, only to fall like his comrade, and not till the twelfth man had reached the fuse did the at- tempt succeed. As the bridge blew up with a mighty roar, we looked and saw that the brave twelfth man had also sacrificed his life." During the long retreat from Mons the Mid- dlesex Regiment got into an awkward plight, a...nd a bridge — the only one left to the Ger- mans — had to be destroyed to protect them.
This was done by a sergeant of the Engineers, but immediately afterwards his own head was blown away by a German shell. " The brave fellow certainly saved the position," writes one of the Middlesex men, " for if the Germans had got across that night I'm afraid there would have been very few of us left." Other daring incidents may be told briefly.
78 TOMMY ATKINS AT WAR One of the liveliest is that of seven men of the Worcesters, who were told they could " go for a stroll." While loitering along the road they encountered a party of Germans, and cap- tured them all without firing a shot.
