- "The first wave of "A" Company of the 21st Battalion advancing in extended order towards Mont St. Quentin in France, on 1st September, 1918, after leaving their trenches to join in the renewed assault by the 23rd and 24th Battalions at 1.30pm. During the morning the 23rd and 24th Battalions had performed conspicuously in the initial attack. This magnificent assault of the 5th Brigade troops resulted in the capture of one of the most strongly defended enemy positions. The Germans holding it specially volunteered to resist the Australians: machine guns were more numerous than usual and the old wire of 1916 in thick belts on the hill slopes was a serious obstacle to the attacking troops."--Printed caption.
