Mon histoire
Lieutenant Arthur Vincent Leopold Hull, a former farmer, was part of the 18th Australian Infantry Battalion (NSW), 5th Australian Brigade, 2nd Australian Division which took part in the Battle of Poelcappelle on the 9th of October 1917. It is noted in the Roll of Honour that Lieutenant Hull hoisted the Australian flag at Polygon Wood at 9:13 a.m. on the 20th of September 1917”.
The 2nd Australian Division had two objectives, named Red Line and Blue Line with the 5th and 6th Australian brigade. The 5th Australian Brigade attacked at 5:20 a.m. with the 17th and the 20th Australian Infantry. As the 17th advanced the 18th Australian Infantry Battalion, that was in support, moved forward to front line previously occupied by the 17th. At 9.15 a.m. the battalion moved forward and supported 17th Battalion in the Blue line but 5th Australian Brigade had to fall back to the Red Line to avoid encirclement. At 10 a.m. the War Diary of the 18th Australian Infantry Battalion notes that they took position on the left flank of 17th Battalion in advance of the Red Line and assisted in digging in and consolidating. The Battalion was relieved that night and moved back into support.
His burial return sheet notes that he was buried near Marne (28NE D17 c) before his grave was concentrated to Dochy Farm New Britsh Cemetery. This is roughly where the jump-off line of the 5th Australian Brigade was located. The book ‘AIF in France’ by CEW Bean mentions that Lieutenant Hull shot through the neck by a sniper while signaling a message near a pillbox on Broodseinde Ridge that was repurposed as a new headquarters. His wound was dressed, but died when an incendiary shell ignited the camouflage of the dugout. Lieutenant Hull and 11 others were killed in the fire. He was a second lieutenant at the time but was promoted to lieutenant after his death.
