From The Story of the 66th C.F.A.

On the afternoon of the 28th a section was ordered forward. The move proved disastrous, for the attack on the left of the Corps had not been entirely successful and the two guns were sniped at from the left flank with whizzbangs, as they moved up the road. For the same reason the position proved untenable and they were forced to return, being subjected to hot fire all the way back. Just as the old Battery position was reached, a large shrapnell shell burst over one gun, and the two drivers, Bomb. Paul , and Ira Lowry, were both seriously wounded, while B. Sub. gun team, the pride of the Battery, was no longer in existance. Bomb. Paul died a short time after of the wounds he had received.
