There is stronger evidence though in the form of the account of one survivor, Private Arthur Webber of the Yarmouth Company, taken prisoner during the battle. He was wounded to the head and claimed to have both heard other wounded being bayonetted and shot by Turkish soldiers, and to have been attacked in the same fashion himself, only being saved by a German officer. In addition, at least one British officer was seen being taken prisoner during the battle but was not heard from again.
There is stronger proof, nonetheless, in the form of an account from one survivor, Private Arthur Webber of the Yarmouth Company, who was captured during the battle. He sustained head wounds and stated that he had both heard other wounded soldiers being brutally attacked by Turkish troops and that he himself was subjected to a similar attack, only to be saved by a German officer. Additionally, at least one British officer was seen being taken prisoner but remained unaccounted for.
