Pte Reuben Parry (Wandin), 29^th Battalion: Is captured by the Germans during the battle. According to correspondence with the Australian Red Cross, he reported that during the battle he had met up with his younger brother Frederick, of the same unit, close to the German line. They decided that the severely wounded Frederick should try to return to the Allied trenches and that Reuben would stay with the survivors of the battalion and try to carry on. However Reuben was captured shortly after and Frederick was never seen again. Later that year Frederick’s family learned via the Red Cross that the Germans had recovered his body and had given him a Christian burial. In 2010 his remains were recovered from an unmarked mass grave and formally identified by the Fromelles Joint Identification Board and were then reburied at the new Commonwealth War Cemetery at Pheasant Wood. Reuben then spent the rest of the war as a prisoner of war in Germany.

Pte Ralph Goode (Lilydale), 2^nd Field Ambulance: In France. In his diary – ‘I’ve been nearly two years at this game now but I’ve never seen anything like the bombardment we gave the Germans tonight, it was awful. It is said that some of the Germans were found to be raving mad, so fearful was our artillery. I can quite understand it, the noise nearly sent us mad, there must have been thousands of guns firing as hard as they could, eight guns just near us averaged fifty-five rounds a minute’.
