Cavalry Hero Relives Narrow Escape Behind Enemy Lines
In 1918 a Canadian cavalry unit fought on the Hindenburg line and endured bombing raids during a moonlit night at Coulincourt Chateau. Steere hid under ground after a three whistle signal, surviving when the sixth bomb failed to drop. The narrative recalls the daring ride toward Le Cateau and the wartime humor that kept spirits high amid danger.
