The shelling forced the unloading party to take cover. Showing a total disregard for their personal safety, the abovementioned Sergeant and Drivers set to with shovels and unloaded their lorry and them got it out of the ditch to a place of safety. Whilst this was being done, their position at GORDON ROAD was being subjected to heavy shell fire by the enemy.'
