They returned for a mile and a halt to investigate, and iound a machine- gun manned by hve Germans, including one officer. Bombs settled the fate of the four men, and Lieutenat Hawkins himself shot 'the officer and captured the gun. Although suffering irom eight bullet wounds, the plucKY lieutenant subse- quently took part in a bayonet charge, in which he was further wounded. For a day and a night he and eight men hid in a shell crater in No Man's Land. Then he lost consciousness, and came to himself at a Rouen hospital four days later.
