"On the 27th August we were close to
Hill 60. We left our trench, charged and took an advanced trench
from which we had to retire to our old quarters. There we was
Aitchison lying with his face terribly injured but not quite dead.
The bearers refused to move him as his case was hopeless. He
died." Private J White1513, B Coy, 18th Battalion.
