He proceeded on foot down the Richebourg Road, which was swept by shell fire, in company with Captain Strutt, commanding the Royal Scots, and was almost immediately killed by a shell, Captain Strutt, being at the same time rendered unconscious. The General's ADC Captain Thorp, ran forward and knelt by Sir Hubert's body, trying to screen it from the shells which were now falling thickly on the road. Captain Strutt shortly afterwards recovered consciousness, but was almost immediately wounded by another shell, and the command of the Royal Scots devolved upon Lieutenant Cazenove".
