Public - Bruce - Researcher - 21 August 2022 - I interviewed Ian Herd during research into Pte Cooper's death, updated details are included in the www.w3RNZIR.org.nz article. Family also advised and accepted the W3 research as accurate. Background - Ian Herd was badly wounded in the same incident and his recollections were affected by his injuries. When I showed him the recollections of other veterans present at the accident he accepted their details as the truth.
