Pte Leslie Farndon (Mt Dandenong), 23^rd Battalion: Is wounded in action, shrapnel wound to the right leg, and is evacuated to hospital in England. He is awarded the Military Medal for his actions on this day. His recommendation states: ‘For conspicuous gallantry in action near Flers on 14th November, 1916, as Battalion runners to the front line and also as guides to carrying parties. Their coolness in action and their endurance until both were wounded in making repeated journeys under heavy fire were most praise worthy. These two soldiers [Farndon and 1034 E. McPhee] were mentioned in Corps Orders for similar good work at Pozieres’.

Pte William Town (Lilydale), 24^th Battalion: Is evacuated from the field to hospital in France suffering from trench feet.
