Spr. H. Savage Royal Engineers
Spr H Savage, Royal Engineers was wounded at Loos. "We were subjected to a severe bombardment but we took no notice of that & went on with our work. It was only when someone gave the gas alarm that we stopped & put our helmets on & in about 5 minutes the gas was so thick I could hardly see my hands. Quite a lot of the chaps were suffering from the gas & lie gasping for breath. I started choking once myself & thought I was going under, as soon as the gas was finished the Germans came."
Sister. Dorothy Huggins
Dorothy Huggins served at the Slough Auxiliary Red Cross Hospital.
Pte. G. Frew
Pte G Frew, New Zealand Infantry was treated at Slough Auxiliary Hospital. He wrote of Gallipoli "While we were fighting in the trenches for about two days, the Maori boys were sent up to releave us, they had just landed and they did not know which trench we were in or which one the Turks was; so as soon as they saw us they must have thought we was them for began to charge. We did not know what to do for we could not stop them and the officer just gave us the word to fire on them when they saw their mistake."
G. Wilfred Foster 47th Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps
Dvr. G. Wilfred Foster, 47th Field Ambulance, RAMC wrote of Loos "At six-thirty the Guns ceased, ten minutes later the boys mounted the trench, some mad with excitement others half drunk with Rum they had given them to raise they [sic] spirits, but very few went far, they were mowed down, with heavy explosives, whizz-bangs, and terrible Machine Gun fire... Two hours later they were in Loos, having taken the Towers and the village and still advancing. It was at this point that our Guns Killed Hundreds of our own men, and that the Horse Ambulances where called on the battle field, a sight which I never hope to see again, there were Hundreds calling for us but we could not do anything to help them...the Enemy Observation saw us, immediately We were set at a Gallop but was caught, over came three High Explosives all together and smashed us up, with the exception of three... We loaded our Wagons, twenty-five in Each than waited until three Artillery Guns came past at the Gallop then returned, having to pass over dead bodies, Horses and broken Wagons, it was just over the same Hill returning, that the Germans put there Machine Guns on us.
