Additional: " On the 13th (August) the Rev. Pierrepoint Edwards, C.F. came round and asked for volunteers to collect wounded of the 163rd Brigade who had been out all night. Enemy snipers were very busy and apparently treated all alike who came within their observation. But the gallant Chaplain resolved to make an effort to bring in these poor fellows, and a volunteer party of 24 from the 5th Essex was soon made up and set out unarmed, with stretchers and a large Red Cross flag. The G.O.C. 163rd Brigade afterwards wrote his thanks to the N.C.O's and men who undertook this voluntary duty, and stated that he had mentioned them in his in his report. They did not, however, appear in despatches as they deserved to have done. "
