Abstract
On the afternoon of Friday, 3 April 1891, at Middle Head, Sydney, New South Wales, during a public military exhibition staged at the conclusion of a weekly military training camp, the premature explosion of a mine ended in terrible calamity, killing two officers, two men and wounding eight others.
Due to his personal bravery, Sapper William Borland was awarded Australia's second Albert Medal.
