Sig Gordon Ewart (Montrose), 58^th Battalion: On this night he and another soldier were ordered by Battalion Headquarters to move forward to the front line trench, known as the Le Catelet Line, to repair a phone wire that had been broken by shell fire. They arrived there and were able to complete the job, even though they were under heavy fire, and then once they finished they headed off towards headquarters. Both were never seen alive again. A day and a half later their bodies were found beside a shell hole, both having been killed by an explosion, Gordon with a large wound to his chest. He was 20 years old and is buried at the Bellicourt British Cemetery in France.

Pte Archibald Conner (Lilydale), 39^th Battalion: Is recommended for the Military Medal for  a second time for his actions on this day. His recommendation states – ‘On October 1^st, the 39^th Battalion occupied a trench in front of the Canal Tunnel on the left of Bony. Stretcher-bearers were required to go forward to bring in wounded members of an advanced patrol. Pte Conner volunteered to go. He showed utter fearlessness and was instrumental in bringing into safety wounded who might otherwise have been overlooked. His conduct throughout the operation was highly commendable’.

Stoker George Cummings (Kilsyth): Is transferred to HMAS Encounter, a Light Cruiser, and spends the next few months on patrols in Australian waters.
