Winger
He was religious and very set in his ways. During the planning for the offensive at serre in the North the Germans knew that was the start of the battlefield limits. There weren't any movements north and all ammo dumps and guns stopped there.
They only planned for 14000 casualties at most and that's why the aid posts and clearing stations couldn't cope.
During the morning of the 1st commanders were reluctant to tell him the full truth of what was happening as they didn't want to be sent to the front or have their careers stopped so they flowered things up when reporting eg saying men were seen in 2nd and 3rd line trenches when they couldn't even get thru the first line of wire.
