One who was present with Major Watts Morgan before Cambrai, when he won his D.S.O. says:— "The Germans had come down to the valley towards us, but before they got far our boys were upon them, killing thousands. The behaviour of the Guardp during the memorable day was such that ought to make every Britisher proud. They simply walked into the Germans, who appeared to melt away. The- Guards walked ten yards, fired 15 quick volleys, another ten yards' walk and another 15 volleys and so on, at the same time be- i-n g under a withering machine-gun fire. It was the grandest sight of my life. Thei I morale of the Guards simply frightened I the Boches, who ran away."
