Chaplain Captain Charles Dobson (Church of England), No.9/633, in a letter sent to his cousin in New Zealand :

"Major Grant was killed. He and I were dressing wounded and walked right into the Turks. They were pretty rattled and their fire was wild. He was shot through the throat and died at once. I fell behind a corner and some bodies and was only splashed with earth. I made a bolt for it and got back to our own lines. We got his body out on the night of the next day after the Light Horse had driven the enemy out. His boots were gone and also a number of discs we had taken from the dead. It was very tragic. …We were dressing a Turk with a badly shattered thigh and shoulder. We were in a bad position and the fire was pretty hot. The Turk was a decent old sort and we had to lie flat to dress him and he kept pulling me down. Grant gave him a sip of wine and said to me “sort of Good Samaritan picture this” I said “I don’t think the priest and Levite have come this road.” He said “Well we joke but we are in the shadow of death and may get it any moment.” …..We wanted to find a N.Z. boy. We agreed to go a bit further but ran into the Turks around the next corner. I fell behind the corner and the dead. The Turks fired a lot but weren’t game to reach the corner for a minute or two. It was two [sic ] long to crawl back, I found I wasn’t hit and then stood up and bolted. ….."
