AN uncle of mine from the 52nd Australian Infantry Battalion was wounded in the Australian assault on the Prussian Prince Ruprecht’s
61st Bavarian Regiment in the salient, MG shot through the left side of chest exiting through the abdomen.

He spent several months in England in hospital then returned to his battalion before the advance on Villers Brittonaux, where he was wounded again in the thigh.

He was evacuated, patched up and sent home in 1918, being twice wounded.

From Sydney, New South Wales he lived a happy and fruitful old age.

He was one of the few who survived Fromelles.

Lest we forget. This will lend a closure to the relatives.
