August 1916 appears to be a relatively quiet month for the 18th Battalion. Appears.
On August 8th Lieutenant Brown, during a grenade demonstration and training session was accidentally killed when a grenade he was holding exploded. 14 other men where wounded during this incident. It could have been much worse.
With only 3 men killed, one accidentally and two others killed in action one should not forget the 610 service men and women of the C.E.F. who perished during this month.
