Meine Geschichte
On 12 October 1917, during the disastrous First Battle of Passchendaele, the 49th Battalion was in close support near Broodseinde. While in support, four young Australians were killed, when a shell hit their dug-out. The dug-out, near a gasometer on the road going towards, Broodseinde collapsed, burying the four alive. Arthur Ashton, 32, William Hayes, 23, Arthur James, 25 and Arthur Siddle, 21 are remembered on the Menin Gate Memorial.
