Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties? no

Were you wounded? no
How were you wounded?

Do you remember what it was like — that is, do you remember whether you
felt any pain or were you so surprised that you felt nothing?

Do you remember seeing or hearing anything that seems funny now, even though
it may not have seemed amusing at the time? Or anything unexpected or out- of-place?
sound of bullets hitting ears of corn: no reason to suppose they were aimed at us Too nervous or frightened to register much!

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic, or simply memorable, that struck
you more than anything else?
The actual business of trying to find a place to land was worst As each wave passed we could see impenetrable obstacles - scaffolding I suppose - with mines on top at intervals + we couldnt see any gaps so had to cruise up + down for a bit: eventually we saw quite a large ship beached + followed the course we thought it must have made through the obstacles Even so we stuck on top momentarily
with loads of equipment on backs
