Wilfred Singleton saw the ground dotted with bodies and heard the piercing shrieks of men who fell and couldn't .ret up. Sometimes I trip ped and I would put out my hands Ui break my fall, and I would feel the not clothing of a dead man." A blistering heat told Noel Gregg that "lots of the fellows had been trapped." "On the ground I saw three men, their heads down. The flames were getting them. My ton-1 pue began to swell and I thought my eyes would pop out of my head. I heard a terrible scream and I fainted." First there were splitting shrieks. R. C. Hill said. Then they became hoarse and finally it was Just whis pers. "The flames cut off my view of them and I knew they had come to their end."
