1920 Dec. WS 443. ...One day towards the end of the month I was working - repairing a fence in a field - and I could hear a distance off a sound as if a tractor was engaged on Winter ploughing. Tractors were not very common at this time but I did. not pay any great attention to the noise, unfortunately for myself, for the sound must have been that of a military lorry. At all events, shortly after I was ordered to put my hands up and three British Officers appeared over the fence and held me up with their revolvers unpleasantly close to me. From the description I got afterwards one was Major Percival of the Essex Regiment and another was a Lieutenant Hotblack, the man who spoke with a pronounced stutter. I did not know who the other was. Percival asked me my name end when I did not reply he told. me it himself and also told me a lot more about myself detailing activities in which I had taken part, and telling me it Was no use in denying such. I was marched away by these three Officers and down and. into Jagoe's farmyard where I was held for a considerable time while parties of the Essex Regiment assembled there apparently after raiding the locality. As each party came in me
