"How great was the
strain placed upon these young troops was only realised when the Colonel
of the Deal Battalion, visiting a section of his trenches, was shot by
his men, who, in a fit of spy mania, killed him, wounded three others,
and slightly bayonetted Colonel McNicoll."
"At 1 a.m. on May 4
the gallant Colonel Braund on the 2nd Bn, returning to the rest
camp in the scrub on Braund's Hill, met his death in a similar
tragedy. He was slightly deaf, and appears to have disregarded the
challenge of one of his own sentries. The sentry shot him."

Anzac, volume 1, 11th edition, page 599 (source 1)
"Braund was a
member of the parliament of New South Wales for the Armidale seat. He
had lately been appointed to the command of his regiment. He was
possessed of strong ideas, a total abstainer, and a man of vigorous
action.
