Thanks Brad, my relative Private 5672 10th battalion AIF Percy Champion is buried at Duhallow ADS cemetery. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit his grave three times and in all likelihood the only Australian relative to have visited his grave.
Percy suffered a fatal wound during the shelling on the night 5/6 October. His body was recovered and buried on 7 October. Burial was in the vicinity of Molenaarelsthoek, Polygon Wood.
He was later interred at Dulhallow ADS Cemetery in a marked grave.
