Add my storyBiography
"Private Robert Logan, 7th Field Ambulance, Australian Army Medical Corps, who lies in Plot I, Row M, Grave 44 probably worked forward of Bécourt Chateau near Albert. He was wounded on 4 August 1916 at a time when the bearer parties of the 7th Field Ambulance were working in the so–called ‘collecting zone’ at Pozières where the wounded were carried by stretcher–bearers from the ‘regimental aid posts’ close to the front line, back about a kilometre to ‘collecting stations’. From there the field ambulances moved them at a faster pace to the dressing stations. In this area the stretcher–bearers and ambulance drivers were always in danger from German shells. There is little official evidence about the context of Private Logan’s death but he was severely wounded in the head, probably by a shell fragment, on 4 August and died the same day in the care of the 2nd Australian Field Ambulance at Vadencourt Château, about 14 kilometres west of Albert."
