Private Clement Lockhart Moore 14th Battalion A.I.F.

“He was killed early in July about the 3rd or 4th at Bois Grenier, the night the Germans made a raid on the part of the line held by D.Coy. He was in a fatigue party with 14 others. They were bringing up hurdles into the line trenches for the use of the engineers. Six of the party were killed, and six were wounded. Only three came back alive. He was amongst the killed and blown to pieces by a shell. I did not see him killed, but I saw the pioneers gathering up parts of a body which they identified as his. They could not find his disc. But were sure of his identity.”
