Sgt Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2^nd Field Ambulance: In hospital in France. In his diary – ‘Fritz has deliberately shelled Bailleul to pieces, why no one knows. It is twelve miles behind the line and as far as military importance is concerned it’s practically nil, today he finished the Town Hall. Dozens of civilian women and children have been killed and wounded, all civilians have left the town now, it nearly made me cry to see the poor people getting out with their belongings in a handkerchief’.
