Australian Field Artillery Killed in action An extract from the 5th Bde. Australian Field Artillery war diary; Location : Dickebusch-LarchWood-Hill60 ' In view of an operation taking place on the 31st instant new Battery Positions were reconnoitred and selected in the vicinity of Larch Wood and Hill 60. This proved rather a diffficult task as the batteries on the forward slope were in full view of the enemy,and all gun pits and ammunition dumps had to be very carefully camouflaged. Several showers of rain caused gun pits and ammunition recesses to collapse necessitating extra work.' An eye witness account of Bombardier A.J. Evans , ' Pringle was killed at Spoilbank on the Ypres sector sometime in the latter part of July. He was carrying ammunition when a shell came and killed him and a Sergeant an wounded three others.' |
