Letter from Lt G A McCullagh
ReginaTrench I was with Sgt and others between the first and second lines of German wire the second line of wire was especially thick,and which we were trying to cut through it,they started bombing us and gave us rapid rifle fire also.Finally they threw in amongst us inflammatory ground flares which burned or scorched us. The 4th Div Can took the ground and very probably buried Bremner with the rest who were lying there. He was in my Company D. Officers and men are agreed that Bremner was the most efficient soldier we had our success at Courcelette on Sept 15 was largely due to him; he was everywhere and saw to everything at one time he came across quite an exposed piece of ground to ask me if I had enough ammunition. He was always perfectly calm; and the men would do anything where Bremner was. Capt Lennard recommended him for his work at Courcelette - I am very glad to have this opportunity of speaking of Bremner. Informant Lt G A McCullagh 26th Can Inf Chateau d'Hardelot. -
