Cousins, Thomas William:
Born Hampshire, England. Came to Canada as a boy. Before the war,
was working as a farm labourer and living with the Roland Hawley family in Richmond township,
near Napanee, where he attended school. Enlisted April, 1916, when
just shy of eighteen in the 146th Battalion. He was part of the second draft of the 146th used to
shore up the ranks of the ill-fated 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, and arrived in France in November of
1916. "We went into the trenches about the last of December," Cousins recalled, "and stayed for
eighteen days. When we first went in it was quite nice and dry, but on the second day in it rained all
day and by night the trenches stood from about two to three feet in mud and water. We were then
issued gum boots to keep our feet and legs dry, but seeing that we had to be in it for so long at a
time, they were not much good." After being in the support lines for a few days, they were moved to
the front line, and Pte. Cousins was assigned to a listening post. "The duty of the man is to warn as
quickly as possible the comrades in the front line, and then to look after himself," said Cousins.
He was also sent out on work parties. "The weather was foul... most of the time it was raining.
To make matters worse, Fritz had a nasty habit of strafing us." When eventually relieved, the men
were filthy. Many had not had a chance to shave or wash for days and were plastered with mud.
After a brief rest, the men were sent back behind the lines to practice going over the top in preparation
for a big offensive on Easter Sunday. Sunday came, and they were told the event was postponed for
24 hours. Monday dawned with the "lads as eager to go over as if they were going to a picnic at home".
Thus began Cousin's part in the battle for Vimy Ridge. "I was a bomber," he wrote. "I carried 120 rounds
ball ammunition and 50 rounds blank ammunition (the latter used for firing off rifle grenades).
I also carried 14 mills bombs, 2 flares and 4 sandbags. I had also with me my rifle and bayonet, and
a rifle grenade cup and 48 hours iron rations. As you see, we did not have much to carry, so
what do they do but stick a shovel or pick onto each of us to "dig in" if we reached our objective.
At 4:30, we left our support trench and went up to the front line. Meanwhile, our guns of every calibre were
pounding the lines of the Fritzs all to bits. At 5:30, the order came along the trench to fix
bayonets. We fixed our bayonets, and all the time we were joking amongst each other as to what we
were going to send each other when we got back to 'Blighty'. Sometimes, there were one or two of the
lads who spoke about home, and then we became a little serious. Of course, we were a little downhearted
but when we come to look back at it, it does not seem so bad after all. Well, at 5:25, our guns ceased, and
the order came along, 'Get ready!' Every man looked to his rifle and bombs and awaited the order to
move. Suddenly, a few seconds after 5:25, our guns let loose. When they did, you could not hear a
single word that your chum said, even if he were only a few feet away. At 5:30 we moved out of our
lines and made a dash for Fritz's front line. We had about 200 yards to cover, but we had his first
line in two minutes. As for myself, after climging out of the trench, I was forced to go through
our own wire. I got safely through it and had got about ten yards the other side of it when a
whizz bang came along and exploded right behind me. The concussion knocked me off my feet
and I received seven pieces of shapnel in my legs, but after getting to my feet again, I did not feel
any great pain, so I went on. I got between his third and fourth lines, when I ran across my platoon
stretcher-bearer. He asked me if I was wounded. I said I had got a scratch or two. He looked at my
legs and bandaged them up, and then told me to beat it out. I got down to the dressing station and was
looked after, and next morning I was in Bolonge. ... After four weeks in convalescence, I was sent
to Shorncliffe, and there I ran across some of the lads who came out of the April 9th scrap. I learned
that Pte. McTaggart and W.A. Dafoe, and also Ptes. Asselstine and C. McCabe had been killed, and
numerous of our lads wounded... We are all deeply affected at the deaths of the lads who have fought
by our sides for months but we all knew that some had to be taken, and life in Flanders makes a man
so hard that event the death of a brother sometimes does not make him angry." Private T.W. Cousins,
writing from Shorncliffe, July, 1917. #835848
