“At and around Battalion Headquarters, Private ‘Buster Bill’ Beynon of the unit pioneers successfully blew six road demolitions. The Colonel and Beynon were the last to leave the old headquarters [Evening, 16 April 1941], where everything that had to be left was destroyed. Some items were hurled into the ravine behind the ‘Back Road’; rations were contaminated with petrol. Private Pankhurst's diary gives the picture: ‘What a wreck we left behind! Cookhouse utensils, clothing, tents, bicycles, food, wireless sets and equipment of all kinds we smashed and rendered useless.” [Ross (1959)]
