Piteous sights of the enemy

"Then there was men falling about me crying for help which we must ignore .... you don't stop till you reach your objective unless you're shot. Well I need not tell you anything blood thirsty about it but I never lost my reasoning throughout. There were piteous sights of the enemy. One such as this I saw a small dog lying alongside of two bodies which were more or less mutilated & barked viciously at us as we passed."
