Notes |
- Fought at Delville Wood July 1916. [seen him in ROLLCALL with initials A.L.F. and therefore the reason he is also known as Alf.]
quote from ROLLCALL, the Delville Wood Story by Ian UYS.
Signaller Alf Mandy (2nd Bn HQ) and his brother Leslie took part in the advance on northern Delville Wood:
'We spent a tearful night in the valley that had been filled with tear-shell gas, and we were glad to get on the move before daylight on the morning of July 15, 1916.
'It was a foggy morning, and the whole of the brigade marched up the road beyond Bernafay, through Longueval, and into our positions in Delville Wood without a shot being fired. When we arrived we were amazed to find that we were on the edge of no-man's-land, and one of our first jobs was to dig ourselves in.
'The wood appeared to be a plantation attached to the village, and it was still so dense that we were able to reach open ground beyond in many places without apparent observation or casualties.
'Where we deployed to the left, however, we were soon in trouble from both machine-gun and artillery fire. As there were no trenches we had to dig in under fire, and we suffered very heavy losses.
'As we were making our way forward in short, sharp rushes, my brother Leslie, who was at my side, was struck in the chest by a shell splinter. I dragged him into a shellhole and managed to fetch a couple of stretcher bearers to carry him back; but when we returned he was dead.
'Although I had been hit twice and had seen many men killed, my brother's death was a terrible shock, and I was in a daze throughout our stay in the wood.
'The left flank of the wood [the north-west corner] and a part of the village were strongly held and fortified with deep and strongly built dugouts and concrete pillbox machine-gun posts, which withstood all attacks'. {per Brian MARGETSON }
