On the morning of 13 May 1940, F/O Leslie R "Les" Clisby of No 1 Squadron RAF reported "I attacked Messerschmitt [Me 110] escort first and saw it crashing in flames, then a He 111 which gave out white smoke from both engines. But I had to break off on account of an attack by a French Potez 63. On returning home, I sighted a He 111 below and made an attack which used up my ammunition. Followed E/A until I saw it crash with wheels up ... I then landed alongside and secured five prisoners". F/O Leslie R "Les" Clisby arrived back at Berry-au-Bac a few hours after abandoning Hurricane Mk I JX-F near Coulommes-et-Marqueny on the morning of 13 May 1940, on board a refugee cart "in the best of spirits, having shared a large bottle of red wine with the peasant and his family". The diarist of No 1 Squadron RAF scoffed that the 25-year-old Australian had "chased the startled crew [of He 111P-2 G1+GA of Stab/KG55] all over the countryside, waving his revolver. He wanted their autographs!"

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.
