OUR DARLING SON CURTIS, GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. MOTHER AND DAD
No Retreating Footsteps by Will Bird:
Major Wright went out in his jeep and as he drove to B.H.Q. the carrier ahead of him passed a horse that was staying along side of the road. Suddenly there was a loud explosion and when Wright stopped his jeep and looked back the horse had vanished. It had been blown to bits of hair and flesh. It carrier had been blown into the ditch. Privates A. McDougall (first image in 'photos') and C.H. Miller were killed. Sgt. T.W. MacKay and Pte. H.T. Myra were badly wounded. Major Wright managed to get the wounded men into his jeep and drove them to the R.A.P.
