This Australian soldier’s skull has extensive damage caused by bullet wounds sustained in the Battle of Passchendale (or Third Ypres, Battle of Polygon Wood) in the First World War. He was shot on September 28, 1917. Most of the damage was caused by a lead bullet that entered the mouth and passed through the palate and right eye. Shrapnel destroyed the ascending ramus of the right jaw, and another bullet, visible here, struck the left frontal sinus. Philadelphia opthalmologist and surgeon WT Shoemaker treated this soldier at a battlefield hospital in France. This soldier survived his initial injuries and treatments. But, five days after his injuries, blind and disoriented, he pulled out the bandage materials in his mouth that packed the wounds. He bled to death. Mutter Museum Philadelphia

The best tunnelling conditions were in the great chalk seams running across northern France. Excavation generally had to be conducted with great care to conceal t he diggings and where in the proximity of enemy miners, to prevent detection by listening devices. Men of the 3rd Australian Company excavating a chamber in the chalk in the Hulluch subway system. The chalk was dug out with miners' picks and filled into bags. These bags were trucked along the gallery to suitable positions, hauled to the surface and emptied at night. In places where the chalk crumbled, the walls had to be revetted, as is seen on the left. Identified left to right: Captain R. J. Langton MC, Officer Commanding, No. 1 Section (holding bag); 1194 Sapper (Spr) D. C. Vecchia; 6772 Spr C. A. L. Robinson, all members of the 3rd Australian Tunnelling Company.

Members of the 1st Australian Tunnelling Company excavating at Hooge, in the Ypres Sector. Work on these dugouts constituted a record for Tunnelling Companies employed under such conditions, for the ground, in close proximity to the famous Hooge Crater, was a shell churned marsh and soakage was heavy. Accommodation was dug for two Brigades and Headquarters of one Machine Gun Company. Commenced on 5 June 1917, the task was completed and dugouts handed over to the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Brigades on 19 September, for the use of the troops engaged in the operation of the following day. Identified, foreground, left to right: two unidentified members of the 56th Battalion; 5488 Sapper (Spr) C. G. Allcock (third from left, looking at camera); unidentified member of the 56th Battalion (working with Allcock). Background, left to right: 5529 Spr H. J. Edmonds; 5374 Second Corporal E. S.

Stonehaven War Memorial. Stonehaven and Dunnottar - Kincardine & Deeside District UKNIWM Ref No. 8693 The Stonehaven and Dunnotar war memorial takes the form of a large sandstone, circular ruined Doric temple with eight pillars, raised on three high steps of rustic blocks. The commemoration and names of the WWI dead are listed on a dressed grey granite stone with a pinkish hue which stands in the centre of the paved enclosure which is entered into via a wide stair and wrought iron gate. The monument is clearly visible from the distance above the road on a headland south of the village. It was built in 1922 and officially unveiled in 1923 to commemorate the men and women who lost their lives in the ‘Great War’. It was designed by local architect John Ellis to resemble a ruined temple – possibly to signify the ruined lives of those whose names are on it. There is no record as to why he designed it to look ruined – no working drawings or sketches. It certainly is very different to most of the other war memorials in this area. The money to build the memorial was raised by the local community in one year through a variety of fundraising events and donations. The Black Hill was chosen as the site for a memorial as it was a popular place for the people of the town to visit – windy but with amazing views up and down the coast and just a short walk from the town. The main part of the memorial is local sandstone, cut from a quarry that existed at the south end of Stonehaven’s harbour. Inscribed on the external faces of the lintel stones: SOMME - MARNE - ZEEBRUGGE - GALLIPOLI - JUTLAND Inscribed on the internal faces of the lintel stones: 'ERECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF STONEHAVEN AND DISTRICT' Inscribed above the entrance: A TRIBUTE 1914 TO THEIR DEAD 1919 ONE BY ONE DEATH - CHALLENGED THEM - ONE BY ONE THEY - SMILED IN HIS - GRIM VISAGE - AND REFUSED - TO BE DISMAYED

A diagram of the Barrage Plan for the Australian Corps advance. The barrage was fired on preset timings without the benefit of radio communications so advancing troops had to be careful not to get too close to, or be left behind by the line of the creeping barrage. The level of complexity of such a plan epitomises the sophistication of Artillery by this stage of the war. Each battery of guns would be using different firing data on a relentless schedule from their many and varied locations in order to achieve this effect on the ground.
