During an attack the Germans checked the Australian advance with a great volume of fire. Weathers then rushed in and bombed the Germans, killing the garrison’s leader. He came back for more bombs and went out with three comrades, including a Lewis gunner. As the Lewis gun covered him he ran to the enemy parapet and bombed the trench, and with the support of his three comrades and the commander of the attached 41st platoon, captured 180 prisoners and three machine guns.
