My car was jammed on all sides and could not move. I told Ross and Joe to get out and for a moment we lay flat on the ground. Many others had done the same. A few seconds later I saw a truck ahead of us turning to the left, and beyond it quite clearly saw John Gray standing with his head through the roof of his car and pointing in the same direction. ‘We’]i give it a go, Ross/ I said. ‘Very good, Sir/ he replied, as polite as ever. We scrambled back and followed the trucks ahead, all bolting like wild elephants. For a few moments we ran on amid a pandemonium, overtaking and being overtaken by other frantic vehicles, dodging slit trenches, passing or crashing into running men, amid an uproar of shouts and screams. I recognized the men as Germans, pulling out my revolver and was eagerly looking for a target when suddenly there was silence and we were out running smoothly on level desert. We were through.

I thought of Joe, who had not got out of the car with us, turned round and poked him. There was no response. I prodded him again and called anxiously and Joe woke up. He had slept through the whole affair.
