Description: New Zealand front line, where the New Zealanders started for their successful attack on Le Quesnoy. A dead soldier is lying in the sunken road. Photograph taken 4 November 1918 by Henry Armytage Sanders. Various authorities present different views on the identfiication of the subject matter depicted in this image. It has been noted that the military personnel in the image may be either New Zealand or British, and that one of the subjects in the image is either Harold Lee Spark (British) or John Leo 'Jack' O'Keefe (New Zealand) [December 2018]. Alan Holdaway states that these are not New Zealand troops, but are in fact the 13th battalion of the Royal Fusiliers (his grandfather is the man sitting down middle right looking back to the left with his rifle lying beside him). He quotes the caption for this image published in "The New Zealand Division 1916-1919," Stewart H, 1921, which identifies this group of soldiers as "support troops." He also suggests "Royal Fusiliers in the Great War," O'Neill, C, pages 332 and 333, for more information. (Info recieved September 2008).
