Seeing, however, that part of the company detailed for the final objective had become disorganized owing to heavy casualties, on his own initiative he led forward his own company and captured and consolidated the final objective."

Hi

Hi Alistair,

Thanks again for sharing.

Think error on this one? McElroy questionnaire but Dixon pay book?

Also "Papering" location of capture shown on Grebby post is likely Poperinghe, Belguim. On his questionnaire Grebby spells his capture location as "Poppering".

Regards

Steve Y
