The third day of the German landings in Prison Valley passed with both sides conducting patrols but not seeking action with one another. That changed as evening approached and the Germans made a determined effort to occupy the high ground known as Pink Hill. Neither side had anyone atop the hill, and so brigade commander Lt. Col. Howard Kippenberger personally led his scanty reserve up the slope in a bid to drive them off.

“It was a most inspiring sight,” Driver A.Q. Pope, pressed into the fighting as an infantryman, wrote later. “Forrester was at the head of a crowd of disorderly Greeks, including women; one Greek had a shot gun with a serrated-edge bread knife tied on like a bayonet, others had ancient weapons—all sorts. Without hesitation this uncouth group, with Forrester right out in front, went over the top of a parapet and headlong at the crest of the hill. The enemy fled.”
