We had been going for some hours now and the Column was again halted. We were in a defile between high sandstone hills. I walked over to Joe [Kingstone] and told him what the prisoner had said … I looked up and saw, sharp yellow against the bright blue sky, three aircraft flying down the length of our column towards me. They were not too high up for me to distinguish at a glance the blue, white and red circles under the wings and the twin engines which made me take them for our familiar Blenheims. Even as I watched I saw three bright yellow eggs begin to fall against the blue and my mind, slowly somersaulting to the horrid truth, warned me that there was something quite wrong with the picture. I threw myself down on the hard ground and the bombs burst 75 yards away, blowing the forearm off an officer of the new Australian anti-tank troop.
