At the time of this writing (8th May 2009 ) there is a living and very competent eye witness to this tragic incident . His clear memory of the events can be read by clicking on this link. https://lancashire-fusiliers.co.uk/legacy/lanc-fus/feature/Bill_Dalton/dalton.htm	The editor feels that is is important for future readers to understand that Officers writing about soldier's deaths would often massage the horrific facts into something a little less painful. This would appear to have happened here.
