Early next morning, hearing a rumour that his platoon officer was lying out
wounded, he went out seven times to look for him under heavy shell and
machine gun fire, each time bringing back a wounded man. The last man
he dragged in on a waterproof sheet from within a few yards of the
enemy's wire. He was seven hours engaged in this most gallant work
and finally was so exhausted that he had to give it up."
