The [[6th Battalion War Diary, September 1916|6th Border Regiment War Diary entry for 26 September 1916]] reads: "The attack of the Border Regiment (was)…led by Captain Carr and 2Lt Fulton who, though wounded before the objective was reached, carried on and saw his men established; the captures amounted to 2 [[machine gun]]s and 191 prisoners, while nearly 100 enemy were killed; Captain Carr and 2Lt A. Fulton led most gallantly and were a very fine example to their men. Both of these officers were wounded before or at Joseph trench but continued in the attack and saw their men settle down to work in Schwaben before thinking of themselves. In the second [[trench]] Capt. Carr tackled 3 of the enemy single handed and accounted for two of these before he was knocked out by a second wound."
