The Corpl. in charge of the expedition wrote from hospital in England: "On the night of 22 April we made a charge, and on the morning of 23 April, just at daybreak, I was sent about 20 yards from the German trench to dig ourselves in with seven men, and Private Peter Carrol, 29430, was one of the men who went with me. It was close to the wood we had taken the night before, so we did not go so far down in the ground when we found we were being fired at from all sides, and there were only three of us left in five minutes, so we tried to move round to the main tunnel, and it was in doing that that Private Carrol was shot through the head. He was as cool under fire as he always was, and had his pipe in his mouth when he left the trench to go out, and sat joking when we were under heavy fire."

To do this he had to cross an open space 300ft. wide swept by shrapnel and machine guns, he returned four times and brought back a wounded man each time--how he escaped unhurt I cannot imagine.
