"He was killed in a barn at Heilly, near Corbie. It was about 11.10p.m. and we were all asleep in the barn where we were billeted. There were some 60 pounders at the back of the barn and the Germans were evidently searching for them. They put over about ten shells, one of these (a 4.2 instantaneous) knocked the roof of the barn off and killed Hepburn and a man named Turnbull (from Queensland), and wounded about 8 of us including myself. The force of the shell blew the partition down and we came down on top of the fellows below. We attended to Hepburn and Turnbull and buried them the next morning, about 200 yards to the back of the barn at a place called No. 2 Military Cemetery, Heilly. Some more Gunners were buried there who had been killed around that part. Crosses were made for the two men by Sergeant Martin."
The identity of the man (Turnbull) killed alongside Tom Hepburn is unclear, there is no one of that name buried at Ribemont and the only person of the same name killed around the same time as Tom is a Gunner McMillan Turnbull, 7th AFA, shown as having died on 20th April 1918, one day after Tom. He is now buried at Vignacourt British Cemetery. It is possible that he survived the initial blast despite the witness reports and was taken back to the Dressing Station where he died of wounds. However, McMillan Turnbull was from Geelong, Victoria and the witness said he was from Queensland he also said that they buried them both at Heilly Cemetery No.2 further confusing the issue. On the balance of probability though, the other man killed with Tom Hepburn is likely to have been McMillan Turnbull.
