An undated, unsigned memo in the Service Record file for Private Arthur Boobbyer Jephcott reads: Pte Jephcott was Killed by shell fire in O.G.1. at Pozieres. Lieut. Leslie (since K. in. A.) of our Battalion subsequently visited his relations, I am told, and gave them what information he could. Jephcott was killed as he entered O.G.1. before it s actual capture. It is very hard to discover whether he was actually buried. Enquiries have several times been made but no reliable information has been forthcoming. It is probable, I fear, that he was not actually buried. War Diary 18th Battalion Pozieres 4th August, 1916: 40 O/Ranks arrived from Details & Reinforcements. 2 H. E. enemy shells fell at Battalion Hd Qrs, killing 2/O/R & wounding 23 O/Ranks. Evening fixed for attack on enemy trenches O.G.1. and O.G.2.

(The Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney, NSW 25 September, 1916) Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France Villers-Bretonneux became famous in 1918, when the German advance on Amiens ended in the capture of the village by their tanks and infantry on 23 April. On the following day, the 4th and 5th Australian Divisions, with units of the 8th and 18th Divisions, recaptured the whole of the village and on 8 August 1918, the 2nd and 5th Australian Divisions advanced from its eastern outskirts in the Battle of Amiens. The memorial is the Australian National Memorial erected to commemorate all Australian soldiers who fought in France and Belgium during the First World War, to their dead, and especially to name those of the dead whose graves are not known. The Australian servicemen named in this register died in the battlefields of the Somme, Arras, the German advance of 1918 and the Advance to Victory. The memorial stands within Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery, which was made after the Armistice when graves were brought in from other burial grounds in the area and from the battlefields. On the three walls, which are faced with Portland stone, are the names of around 10,885 Australians who were killed in France and who have no known grave. The 'blocking course' above them bears the names of the Australian Battle Honours. The names are engraved on the memorial in order of battalion, then alphabetically under rank.
