Lieutenant Geoffrey Lambton, nephew of the Earl of Durham, was in
charge of us in the wood, and was directing our fire from a mound.
The lieutenant had given orders to fire, had picked up a rifle, and
was in the act of firing himself when he was fatally wounded by a
German bullet. He knew he was done for, and he gave me his pocketbook,
note-book, and sketch-book to bring back to his people: _Pte. Roberts,
Coldstream Guards_.
