Bullecourt to Riencourt (2017-04-18)

Footage and description of 13th Battalion AIF moving through German lines during WWI. My great uncle Malcolm Davidson Robertson DCM was captured during this operation, only a few weeks after being awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal for his action at Stormy Trench, during the Battle of Gueudecourt.

Starting at a memorial on the side of Rue de Bullecourt, just up the road from the 'Bullecourt Digger', we proceeded to a small private chapel, on a side road just outside of Riencourt-les-Cagnicourt (seen as Le Brullé on Google Maps), just past a sweeping bend of Rue de Clichy. From there we went to the starting point of the 13th Battalion in the First Battle of Bullecourt.
