Description
Mr. Goodfellow describes the death by shelling of several sick comrades quarantined in the same tent, and witnesses an unfortunate incident where a civilian and his dog are seriously injured by a land mine.
Transcription
There’s four or five soldiers quarantined in a tent and a shell hit the tent, killed everybody. But anyway, there was one fellow’s head on top of the canteen. There was another awful sight. I borrowed a bicycle to go to the doctor to see about my ear. I was trying to swing the lead and I heard a bang, a loud bang, and there was an old Frenchman and his little dog, fox terrier, he stepped on a mine that hadn’t been exploded. It ripped his stomach open and then the poor dog, it was dragging its hind feet. They had to shoot it, but I don’t know whether he lived or not.
