A powerful factor in weakening the German thrust across the old Somme battlefield was the continuous bombing by British aircraft. Both Nos 2 and 4 Australian Squadrons were engaged in this, the machines bombing the enemy, returning for further bombs, and then starting again as fast as they could be loaded. No. 2 Squadron was at Savy. Seen here is an accident on the ground. (Serial No. C9539, V, of C Flight No. 2 Squadron). Left to right: Lieutenant G. R. E. Brettingham-Moore; Captain (Capt) R. W.
