Headquarters 4th Australian Infantry Brigade. Captain Clive Boyer HOPKINS was one of the original subalterns of this Battalion. He landed at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915 in command of No.16. Platoon of "D" Company, and fought with conspicuous dash throughout the series of operations at the head of MONASH GULLY in April, May and June of that year. During the advance on the left on the night 6/7th August 1915, his Company (which he then commanded) led the Brigade advance and was first into position as left flank guard of the northern assaulting column. Frequently, during this advance, he went forward ahead of the screen to make a personal reconnaissance of the ground to be covered. He was wounded on the loth August 1915, while going the rounds of his trench overlooking KIAIJICK AGHALA. He was promoted to Captain 19th July 1915, Captain 20th February 1916 and was transferred to 45th Battalion on the formation of that unit in March 1916. Cool in action, brave to a fault, one cannot speak too highly of the work and soldierly qualities of Captain HOPKINS. Popular alike with Officers and men, he combined the gift of leadership with the cool hard calculation of the trained mind. I would suggest that the file be submitted to Lieut-Col. S.C.E. HERRING. D.S.0. Commanding 45th Battalion. (signed) D. MARKS. Major. Commanding 13th Battalion. A.I.F.
