Wright attributes his wound to ground fire. His account

...As I levelled out I caught sight of a motor lorry on the road with a couple of machine guns mounted, blazing away at me, and a moment later I felt as if I had been kicked in the backside by a giant mule, would have bounced out of my seat had my seat belt not held me in.

His wound saw him hospitalised in England, returning in July 1918.
