7.5 inch Howitzer and Stokes mortar positions'salvo after salvo struck the ship, doing indescribable damage in the packed starboard battery where all the storming party were awaiting to land; the foremost howitzer's crew were wiped out with the exception of the voice pipeman, who was a couple of yards away. The strangest part of this was that the trench mortar battery, not more than 4 feet away, did not receive injury at that time.' Wilfred Wainwright, First published in "Everyman at War" (1930)
