Meanwhile the Trench was re-taken by the enemy, and so far as informant knows Webb was not removed from the dugout, so there is a possibility he may be a prisoner, or the Germans may have killed him. This was at Fleurs. Eye Witness- He was in the attack. Description- Dark, Tallish, very nice chap “.
12/02/1917- Informant- Pte.

The stretcher bearers had put Pte. Webb in a dugout , as he had a broken leg, so when the Germans retook that trench, they must have taken Webb prisoner , for neither he , nor the wounded German with him were there when we again took the trench “.
