Donald Fraser mentions Private Ladd in his diary (The Journal of Private Fraser, ed. Reginald H. Roy, publ. 1998, CEF Books).  The following is an incident during the Battle of Lens, when a call came to help with retrieving a wounded man: "Tuesday, 21 August 1917 - ... an officer appeared in our cellar and said he required a couple of men to replace casualties, one of which was Elmer Bishop.  He looked around and spoke to Ladd and Reid telling them to get their equipment on and be ready to go up to the front in a few minutes.  Ladd took the matter philosophically, but not so Reid.  The order stunned him ... the officer breezed into the cellar and called out.  'Are those two fellows not ready yet?' ... In a moment they were off with a guide to the fray ... The officer appeared again and ... asked for four of us to go up as stretcher bearers and bring out Harry Stevenson who was very badly wounded.  McCormick, Jackson, Nick and I responded to the call ... Manville was our guide.  A bombardment by Fritz was on when we started up the communication trench and it increased in intensity the further up we went.  Altogether we had about a mile to go.  The trench, an old German one, was wide and not very deep, badly knocked about by shell fire and in parts full of broken strands of wire which proved troublesome.  Snipers were busy.  Shells were either whizzing past us or dropping all around, miraculously missing us.  We overtook the other party and I was a little in the rear of Ladd when a shell roared by Ladd missing him by the barest inch and crashed into the foot of the side of the trench - a dud.  Ladd pulled in his stomach as if to dodge it and slowly turning round revealed the whitest face I ever saw in my life.  He tried to grin, but it was a very, very sickly-looking grin.  We hurried past the spot in case of a delayed explosion.  A little further on we became so exhausted with stooping and rushing that we dropped into a dug-out on the left to catch our breath.  After a very harassing time, we made another stop at section headquarters about seventy yards to the left of the communication trench."

On 4 November 1917, as they were preparing for the attack on Passchendaele village, Fraser found some time to contemplate the make-up of his crew: "Expecting to remain here until the end of the Passchendaele action, I found time to check up on the crew and the gun and noted the following:

The War Diary contains the following entry for 5 November 1917: "Supplies for Mobile Guns were sent up by a Pack Train of 26 Annimals. This train was heavily shelled near Zonnebeck Station causing several casualties. 1 man missing and 6 men wounded, one of whom afterwards died of wounds. 5 Animals were killed and 5 wounded. Despite the shelling, train reformed and proceeded to destination safely delivering all the guns, tripods and supplies with the exception of 24 hours rations for No. 2 Section. 3 loads of S.A.A. and 2 of water were also lost. No. 2 Section was therefore on short rations during the next 48 hours. During this trip Pte T Wolfenden showed an excellent example. Although severely wounded he stayed at his post and safely delivered his load at the Dump. Afterwards collapsing on the return trip."

Fraser was also involved in this incident, and includes a graphic description of the events in his diary: "On the evening of the 4th, our transport went up the line and met with such opposition that a number were wounded and others so badly shaken and shell-shocked that they were either unfit or unwilling to proceed the following night.  Our crew was, therefore, called upon for assitance.  Leaving Fage in charge of the tent and belongings, the rest of us assumed our new duties and new they certainly were.  For the first time we had each to lead up a horse to a forward dump carrying an assortment of goods.  The transport men left behind soon had the horses loaded up and ready.  Roughly there must have been something like 14 or 15 in our little convoy ... We started out and I found myself second last in the line. My horse was loaded up with cans of water, four on each side ... Up the road we went ... Shell holes were everywhere and most contained slimy, muddy water.  The terrain was a wilderness of mud.  Thank goodness, however, the road was fairly firm.  We were warned to space out which caused quite a distance between the first and the last man ... The artillery was firing as we passed and Fritz was returning the fire.  We soon saw that it would take practically a direct hit to do any damage.  We watched the shells send up fountains of mud and water as they exploded.  For quite a distance you could see eruptions taking place at various points resembling geysers or mud volcanoes ... Near the top, shells were falling beside the road ... According to the map, I would say that we were in the vicinity of Zonnebeke.  Emerging from the hollow, we crept slowly up the ridge ... We were gradually getting through, when I sensed it was about time the next salvo was coming and with it trouble, and sure enough the shells came.  I was thown by the force of the explosion on to my face into the gutter at the side with the rest of me sprawled around the edge ... I was badly dazed and partially choked by mud and water ... my mind quickly cleared and I looked around and saw my horse lying dead half over my right thigh and pinning me down.  We were tossed from one side of the road to the other.  Glancing ahead I observed the horse in front dead and its attendant also.  He was Joe Bishop, a brother of Elmer who was killed several weeks before at Lens.  Joe was taken off the gun crew and given a supposedly safe job with transport.  Ahead of him was Ladd.  His horse was dead also and he, himself, was wounded and trying to rise.  I turned around to see how the fellow behind me fared.  I saw him and his horse motionless in death.  Four horses killed, two men killed and two men wounded was the result of the senselessness of the officer who led us in.  He certainly played us into the hands of the enemy."

"After squirming for several minutes, I managed to pull my leg from under my horse and astonishing to say it was not sore, let alone injured.  The right side of my face, however, was burning and stinging as if someone had stuck hot needles into it.  It was full of tiny bits of metal ... Ladd shouted that he was hit in the leg.  Getting up, I said that I would bandage him and then tried to extract the bandage from the frontal corner of my tunic, but at this moment another salvo came over and the explosions so disturbed the air that i had difficulty breathing for a minute or two.  The shells fell short and the small embankment above the ditch seemed to waver before my eyes as the earth erupted.  Ladd cried out that he could not make it and sank to the ground.  I shouted back that iw ould send stretcher bearers as soon as I could ... Reaching the base of the ridge I walked right into the cement blockhouse and told the Red Cross men that Ladd was lying wounded at the top of the road.  They went out with a stretcher but waited up the road a bit for about ten minutes until the shelling ceased and soon afterwards Ladd was brought in ... In a few minutes an ambulance appeared and four or five of us piled in and away we went.  Our first stop was Potijze where we were given hot cocoa and the right sleeve of my tunic was cut away ... the next stop was Ypres where the driver had to report.  Later on a further stop was made at the western end of Vlamertinghe where we were stripped of our uniforms, put into flannels, tagged and had a visit from a padre who asked for the names and addresses or our next of kin.  In quick time we were into another ambulance and whisked away to a casualty clearing hospital beside Poperinghe.  It was operated by the Australian Medical Corps and consisted of several large tents.  We were dropped off here and in a matter of minutes I was under the X-Ray machine ... an anaesthetic was ... given ... Later I awakened in a tent in dim light where about thirty fellows lay on stretchers moaning and groaning ... Two or three times I called out Ladd's name, but apparently he was not in the tent, for no response was received.  In the morning a Red Cross train was at hand and in a short time the carriages were filled ..."

There are two candidates for this William Ladd in the National Archives of Canada CEF Database:
LADD William Allard, 749037
LADD William Dexter Jr., 840425
Without further information, however, it is not possible to tell which of the two was Fraser's companion.

Guns were in position at 8 a.m. with a clear field of fire of 1000 yards. Guns were dismounted as soon as it was seen that the infantry had reached objective and were again mounted at dusk. These guns were subjected to heavy shelling with numerous casualties. No. 8 gun having only its No. 1 L/Cpl J.M. Donald left. Although wounded he stuck to his post until Battery was relieved.
