• "We heard strange throbbing noises, and lumbering slowly towards us came three huge
mechanical monsters such as we had never seen before. My first impression was that they
looked ready to topple on their noses, but their tails and the two little wheels at the back held
them down and kept them level. Big metal things they were, with two sets of caterpillar wheels
that went right round the body. There was a huge bulge on each side with a door in the bulging
part, and machine guns on swivels poked out from either side. The engine, a petrol engine of
massive proportions, occupied practically all the inside space. Mounted behind each door was a
motor-cycle type of saddle, seat and there was just about enough room left for the belts of
ammunition and the drivers…. The third tank went on and ran through Flers, flattening
everything they thought should be flattened, pushing down walls and thoroughly enjoying
themselves, our lads coming up behind them, taking over the village, or what was left of it, and
digging in on the line prescribed for them before the attack.

• "We had a new man at the periscope, on this afternoon in question; I was sitting on the
fire step, cleaning my rifle, when he called out to me: 'There's a sort of greenish, yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out in front, it's coming…. A company man on our right
was too slow in getting on his helmet; he sank to the ground, clutching at his throat, and
after a few spasmodic twistings, went West (died)…Suddenly, my head seemed to burst
from a loud 'crack' in my ear. Then my head began to swim, throat got dry, and a heavy
pressure on the lungs warned me that my helmet was leaking. Turning my gun over to
No. 2, I changed helmets. The trench started to wind like a snake, and sandbags appeared
to be floating in the air. The noise was horrible; I sank onto the fire step, needles seemed
to be pricking my flesh, then blackness.
