Gnr Percy Hyne (Lilydale), 8^th Field Artillery Battery: In a letter to his Mother – ‘We then pulled into Zillebeke, where it was one continual run, night and day, to and from the guns. I got my issue there, in the shape of a finger, which I was not sorry for, as it was a crook place to be in. After that we went back to Messines Ridge on Stinking and Gooseberry Farms, where we were for the winter’.
