I LONDON. November 16-The story of October twelve was permitted to b ll D6 of extracts from a despatch fronl the official correspondent of New Zeal- and with the New Zealand forces in e ubiished here today. in the sha France. Summarizing the story it appear that a New Zealand division was as~I in other fights, wililethe wire re- lllained partly uncut and most of the piliboxes remained unshocked. Foll- owing the thin barrage the advancing waves of infantry found thelnselves raked' by machine gun file and stripp- ed of their rifles even to shoot at s the machine gunnels 'who were per- ched in little platforms in the almost signed to attack Bellevue Ridge and branchless trees ahead. other positions within 2000 yards of Passchendaele village.

There! was also uncut wire and olrr men came against it unsuspectlngly. This was thick across the whole of Belle vue Spur which sloped up in a fifty mqttle contour. It was a low picket pattern, two feet six inches high and from twenty to forty yards lil depth. THE GUNS WERE BOGGED "Hero, then. were the most adverse conditions possible for an attack over greasy, muddy, wateriogged shell holes and concrete redoubts fronted with wire and crammed full of mach- ine guns; but in addition to all this the artillery had the greatestidiffic- lilty in getting up our guns, while some of them could not be got up at all. Others which did get up had great difficulty in carrying on tor after' a shot or two had been fired their "trails" slipped in the llrud so that accurate shooting was extremely difficult. - “The sum total of this was that e infantr had not all thc splendid scattered over the ground made cori- ditions such that it was a physical impossibility for infantry to bite deep into such a system of defense until - it had -been further reduced by ll more intense artillery fire." The story' tells of several heroic incidents. One officer and a few men succeeded in capturing two pillboxes and eight prisoners, but only two oi their platoon were left when finish- ed--an officerand his batsman. The 'officer remained as a garrison and sent the batman to report. ' He saw _the batsman get killed as he went. if lmany infantrymen fo-iight until they .were exhausted so did the stretcher- bearers toil ceaselessly until ready to drop with fatigue. Some oi' them carried' men for twenty-six hours to regimental aid 'posts and there was mud on the battlefield in places four feet deep where the stretcher-bearers became bogged and had to help one another out. I it took six men six hours to clil'l‘.\' one wounded ruan fronl the near front a distance of thirty-seven hund- red yards.
