"Portrait of Walter Leslie Schwarz. He enlisted in the AIF in 1915, but was harassed because of his German name. He deserted in England and joined the Royal Fusiliers under the assumed name of Merritt. He became a lieutenant, won the Military Cross (MC) and bar and was Mentioned in Despatches three times. His right leg was amputated above the knee to save his life after he was wounded at Ledegham on 14 October 1918. To the British he was a hero, but to the Australians he remained a deserter until he was pardoned by King George V in 1921."

Nieppe, France. 18 April 1918. A Company Headquarters of the 7th Battalion, established in an old shooting box in the Forest of Neippe, in Northern France. A week earlier on the arrival of the 1st Division at Hazebrouck from the Somme, the Germans were already commencing to penetrate the Forest of Nieppe immediately east of the town. The 7th Battalion, with some of the 1st Pioneer Battalion and a company of machine gunners, pushed through Nieppe Forest, north of La Motte Chateau, and dug in on the north-eastern edge, in touch with the British rearguards. The Australian line, when completed, ran down from Strazeele to the Wood, where it linked up with the British Guards and the 29th Division. The Germans attacked in force on the 14th, but were repulsed; they renewed the attack in the evening, but failed. They never attacked again on these positions.
