| Grim probably sums it up. From my Fathers memories;
".................At one point we had run out of ammunition and we finished off one position, attacking and killing the occupants with our trenching tools. It was a particularly bloody affair but they were never going to surrender.Those defenders suffered a particularly violent and bloody death. Do you know, you can take a mans head clean off with a trenching tool..........................."
