Second Bullecourt.

[Waddell]

Was wondering if anyone has a breakdown of casualty figures for the 5th Brigade AIF (17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Battalions) for Second Bullecourt?

I have seen a total casualty figure of 7482 Australians. Am wondering if a more detailed breakdown is available?

Thanks,

The Bean Official history gives a figure of 1,463 for 17, 18, 19, 20 Battalions & MG Coys etc. The 4 Australian Divisions lost nearly 7000 during second Bullecourt. The histories are available at

Thanks Tew,

For some reason I hadn't noticed the second part of Second Bullecourt in the official history. That's what I was after.
