Shortly afterwards, on 2 July 1917, Major General William Holmes was escorting the New South Wales Premier, William Holman, near the battlefield when a German shell burst alongside and fatally wounded Major General William Holmes.

On 15 May 1915 a sniper's bullet severed Major General William Throsby Bridges femoral artery and he died three days later on board a hospital ship.
