As the Enemy were shelling a farm, on which the men of a Battery of Artillery had been billeted, a shell struck a room full of Women and Children. A Child was Killed, and nearly everyone else was wounded and panic-stricken.

Rafferty of the 112th Heavy Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery, was awarded the D.C.M.
