Description

Reference image only to provide position detail for those named. This image is not for sale. Near Bonnay, France. 26 July 1918. Horse lines of the 14th Australian Field Ambulance established in `bomb shelter' positions near Bonnay. The horse lines were constructed on a sharp slope or bank which had a grade of about one in two or three. It was noted that it would be necessary for an explosive to face into the stalls in order to injure the animals and even then the explosive would be limited to the one stall. There was a stall for each animal and accommodation for forty seven horses. Bombs were dropped by hostile aircraft within a few yards of the stalls but did not injure either men or animals. Had there been no earthworks the damage would have been extensive. The earthworks were above the level of the horses heads. Identified: 7740 Driver (Dvr) F. H. Drake (1); 3147 Dvr L. J. Jennings (2); 8906 Dvr G. Grace (3); 13561 Dvr T. Fergusson (4); 1697 Sergeant G. K. Harvey (5); 1420 Dvr H. Sefton (6); 10452 Lance Corporal W. A. Peters (7); 2784 Private (Pte) W. G. Bliss MM (8); 14370 Pte R. Wightman (9); 9416 Pte W. G. Helson (10).
