Campbell C. King of White Rock, B.C., a member of the Great War Veterans’ Association and Legion for 63 years, recounts:
An Anzac outfit was in line next to the 44th Manitoba Battalion and a badly-wounded Canadian soldier was brought unconscious into a tented-off corner of an Australian advance dressing station where an Aussie nurse was in charge. The Canadian came to, looked around and said: “Did they bring me in here to die?”
“Oh, no,” the nurse said. “They brought you in yesterdie.”
