CAPTAIN CHARLES A. FRYATT
The martyred British Merchant-Marine Captain, who was executed by the
Germans because his ship attempted to sink a German submarine which
attacked her.
"The enemy seems to have maintained a bombardment all round General
Herr's lines on February 21, 1916, but this general battering was done
with a thousand pieces of field artillery. The grand masses of heavy
howitzers were used in a different way. At a quarter past seven in the
morning they concentrated on the small sector of advanced intrenchments
near Brabant and the Meuse; twelve-inch shells fell with terrible
precision every few yards, according to the statements made by the
French troops.
