Three of my comrades were sent out on patrol, when they were fired on
by the Germans. One got back to the trenches, though I was told two had
returned. One I saw was wounded, and I volunteered to save him. I went
out and was heavily fired at, but I made up my mind to get him--and you
know I very seldom change that. Well, I persevered and got to one who
was past human aid. I had missed the wounded one, who was lying nearer
the trenches. I came back to the trench and reported the one dead. I
then went out again to the wounded man and, with the help of Corporal
Brown, brought him safely back: _Pte. Dobson, Coldstream Guards_.
