    STATEMENT RE THE DEATH OF No. 3384137 Guardsman DUNNE, J.

    On 27 April 1943 about 1/4 mile straight down from where the attack began, on the right hand side of the olive grove, I found a body in a kneeling positions which I could not recognise. The face was badly mutilated. I searched the hip pocket and found a wallet marked "J. DUNNE, No. 1 Company" which contained photographs, some of which I recognised to be of Guardsman DUNNE. I replaced the wallet in the hope that it would enable the body to be identified whenever it was recovered. I knew this Guardsman when he was in No. 1 Company and he was later transferred to No. 3 Company.
