He had only been "out there" some two months when he made a tour of the lines on -the Menin road while they were being heavily shelled. "Dug- g:ie" displayed the coolness which characterises all his movements, and the- effect was notable, for the troops, falling back under an overwhelming attack, rallied at once and drove the enemy back. Not long afterwards Sir Douglas was actually stunned bv a shell which killed some of his staff, but he "car- ried on' despite his shaking.
