Our Medical Officer happened to be on the spot at the time and I can assure you that everything was done that was possible to save him. The Medical Officer, who is a very clever doctor, tried to operate almost at once, but found it was useless, and your son died about two hours afterwards.

He was buried by our Chaplain at 3 p.m. this afternoon. Only my Adjutant, Captain Ponsford, and myself were able to be present, with some of the regimental stretcher bearers, as the other officers could not leave their duty in the trenches.

His loss is not only a personal loss, but I think he would have become a very good officer, and his death is a loss to the whole Army. He is buried besides two other officers. Please allow me to express my sympathy with you at your great loss, and that of the whole regiment.’

I was seconded to the theatre and I was to spend all the time, day and night, as orderly with Inglis and some others. We could use only candles as we were under fire. I can see Inglis holding a candle at one side of the operating table and myself at the other, trying to keep our hand steady while loud explosions went on outside. The whole place was a shambles with men lying on the floor everywhere. It was so dark ... it was difficult to know whether a man was dead or alive. ... While Miss Ivens was operating, French soldiers burst into the place and asked us why we had not left as the town had been evacuated. We eventually got away next day, only just in time, as shells were coming over. ... The Americans came to our aid and helped with the wounded. Finally our ambulances from Royaumont came to our rescue. We were glad to see them. ...’ In a letter dated 23 May 1918, Smieton wrote of the last night at Villers Cotterets, ‘I shall never forget that night as long as I live; the sights were too appalling for words. I helped in the X-ray room. Three bombs were dropped quite close to the hospital; and a munition train in the station was bombed and went on fire. ... The doctoresses were simply splendid through it all. ... Seven amputations were done that night by the light of two candles’. Miss Smieton married Harold Leslie Sanderson, D.C.M. in 1922.
