  often noticed when a man got killed as

  if he was much happier where he had gone

  the other Two were still alive so one

  I cut his Putters off and found he had

  some very bad leg wounds and the other

  had a Piece out of his Shoulder and

  they happened to be Three sworn Pals

  all joined up together and as Fate

  would have it they were all killed

  together as the other Two died very

  Shortly after getting to Hospital as

  Lock Jaw set in with Both of them

  but what struck me most was when the

  Doctor was dressing their Wounds they

  were asking me if their chum was all

  right I said yes hes allright he is

  Sleeping anyway they were in Terribly Pain

  and the Doctor gave them an Ingection

  before they went to Hospital as I stated

  they Both DIed so I was the only one

  saved and of 4 of us sitting outside the

  Billet their was all the Letter which

  they had just read before the shell

  burst and the Parcels cake and sardines

  which we were just going to Enjoy all

  gone west with them Poor Fellows I

  had to get the Dead Body outside and

  the room where I had dragged them

  was just like a Slaughter house where

  they  had Bled so I washed it all down

  with several Pails of water and the

  Poor People who Lived in the House were

  so Panic Stricken that they were all

  Lying under Sofas Beds and anywhere
