Baldwin picked him ‘up and carried him toward the British lines. He was under, heavy rifle fire all the way and was shot through the hip before he reached shelter. He managed, however, to deposit the corporal in a trench and- to leave him in caree and then made his way to a dressing-station which he reached after sheltering for three hours from shell-fire.

His father is serving with the R.A.M.C. in Palestine, and a brother, Leonard, is in France.
