But almost all the engineers attempting to build a bridge for the purpose fell to German machine-gunners and artillery. Owen would be remembered patting his men on the back as they sheltered behind the canal bank, with a "Well done!" and "You are doing very well, my boy". He was fixing some planks by the water's edge when he was killed.
