The Tank having fired a broadside, the two men charged the position and captured a gun and its team. They then proceeded to attack another gunpit, where Corporal Carter was knocked senseless by a bomb, but recovered to find his comrade had captured this gun team, six in all - by himself. The dash and determination of these two men were nothing short of marvellous.”
