Description
A trench block, showing Mills Grenades and rifles (left). Captured possibly German stick hand grenades in bags and empty mess tins (right). The success of the battle at Stormy Trench was largely due to the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel (then Captain) Henry William Murray, VC, CMG, DCM, DSO and Bar, 13th Battalion, for which he won the VC.
