First person Capon saw on landing
was Pvt Bert Hull (see 9). Lt Dowling
an Irishman was later killed at battery

He remembered seeing two Germans
coming out of slit trench within battery

his hands. The Red X presumabley to
indicate that he wanted to surrender
other Germans were pushing one another
out many of them shouting "Ruski
