What the disaster was we could not fathom, but that it was some distance away we had no doubt. At 7 a.m. the telephone rang furiously, and we all waited breathless for the news. Ten cars were ordered immediately to Audricq, where a large ammunition dump had been set on fire by a Boche airman. Heavy explosions continued at intervals all the morning as one shed after another became affected.
Five days after the explosion Gutsie and I were detailed to go to Audricq for some measles cases, and we reported first to the Camp Commandant, who was sitting in the remains of his office, a shell sticking up in the floor and half his roof blown away. He gave us permission to see the famous crater, and instructed one of the subalterns to show us round.
