We marched along the road in single file keeping to the right under cover of the hedge as much as possible – and about five minute intervals between platoons, till we got to the Communication Gaps leading to the main trench: in these we were slightly congested owing to supplies going forward and wounded coming back.

The first wounded man I saw was one lying on the road with a bullet wound through the stomach. The sight seemed to bring to me the first indication that we were actually going into battle – a slight feeling of sickness crept over me and I felt annoyed with myself, but it soon passed.

In the gap a shell landed among our front party – but we could not stop, one poor chap was blown to a pulp, bits of legs and arms were scattered about. I trod on his head by mistake as I hurried by and it gave under my foot like a sponge – others were lying about moaning and groaning – but all feeling had left me now. I passed dead men without feeling pity or remorse.
