Description
The battlefield in Pozieres near the school house where the 12th Battalion was entrenched. The grave is that of Captain Ivor Stephen Margetts, of Wynyard, Tas, who served in the 12th Battalion and was killed in action on 24 July 1916. The German Spring Offensive in 1918 re-captured this area and Margetts' grave was obliterated and was lost. His name is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial.
