This photograph is of the 4th Pioneer Battalion New Zealand Army but it serves to illustrate the extent of preparation before the battle - this is rehearsal conducted prior to the battle of Messines. These men are advancing towards the start line for an attack. As they approach it in columns of route, they spread out quickly into 'artillery formation' as seen here so they are less vulnerable . This photo should be viewed in conjunction with the adjacent diagram and explanation. Image from tumatauenga.webs.com

This is a disturbing image of a destroyed German trench. In the foreground the limp bodies of dead German soldiers lie amidst the rubble. It is difficult to distinguish the soldiers from the chaos around them, but three bodies are clearly visible. One man, wearing a helmet, has been pushed forward by the blast and, although dead, appears to crouch forward. The entire scene is a maelstrom of mud, splintered wood and dead bodies. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Battle_of_Messines_-_destroyed_German_trench.jpg

Details from his recommendation for the award of the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Bckingham Palace April 1917: "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He made a daring reconnaissance, and led raiding parties across "No Man's Land" to the point of assembly. Later he carried five wounded men back to a place of safety". Extract from the History of the 43rd Battalion by Capt E.J. Collyer, MC and Lieut BH. Richardson - P232 "To know him was to like and admire him. His buoyant, sunny nature pulled the slow along in times of stress and hardship. As a scout and raid leader, he had no equal in the battalion Thus died one of the finest specimens of the Australian soldier ever to set foot in France". He was killed during the period of small scale raids seizing German forward posts and pushing their font line back in what was called 'Peaceful Penetration", for which the AIF became renowned, in the months preceding the great attack on the 8th August 1918. He was initially buried in the field "In the shadow of the Monastery in the heart of Bois l'Abbe, just west of Villers". He was later re-interred at the Adelaide Cemetery, in Villers Bretonneux."
