The tanks were kept in a field near the back of the village & rushed up at the last moment at a great speed. It was possible for me to trace their tracks up along the railway until they struck across the open country at the end of the village.

A small shell struck one; blew it up & then the whole of the others one by on blew up. The shattered & torn carcases are lying there still surrounded by blackened & torn petrol tins, Lewis gun cartridge cases, Mills' bombs & plenty of small arms ammunition.
