Yeah, cromlech, most likely. He never talked a whole lot about it, but from the way he phrased things, it sounded like he regarded the whole deal as a more interesting form of deer hunting.
He got bored after a few days in a rest camp (two weeks off from war) and wandered back Up Front to an artillery outfit. Their forward observer had been killed by German artillery. So, he went out to be the FO. "Camped out" as it were. He told the story because of the fun he'd had calling in artillery on a German supply route, and the frustration of not being able to "kill a little staff-car thing". The little staff-car thing of course was a Kubelwagen, and the subject came up because I'd bought a good-used Volkswagen Beetle.
