Spr. H. Savage
British Army Royal Engineers
Spr H Savage, Royal Engineers was wounded at Loos. "We were subjected to a severe bombardment but we took no notice of that & went on with our work. It was only when someone gave the gas alarm that we stopped & put our helmets on & in about 5 minutes the gas was so thick I could hardly see my hands. Quite a lot of the chaps were suffering from the gas & lie gasping for breath. I started choking once myself & thought I was going under, as soon as the gas was finished the Germans came."
