Douglas Charles Gerald ‘Tommy’ Thomson served with the 2nd Battalion Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) at Bullecourt in May 1917. He recalled to me about the fierce fighting and how two young officers were sent into action against a German machine gun position and became casualties. Today two HAC casualties from that battle are being buried in Northern France. http://bit.ly/129MGtk & http://bbc.in/Y0VP9k
