was in a very hot corner indeed but the men were splendid and we were very fortunate, not a man killed, but some wounded. The shrapnel fire was very heavy and lot of the very big shells; we were making some soup in a farm when 5 big ones dropped around it but we and all the horses got away.

My major with whom I mess was shot thro the lungs. I did not think he would pull thro, as we could not get a stretcher or ambulance to take him away, after a long time we got a motor ambulance but it was wrecked about a mile
