Have found some more information regarding the battle for Courcelette on 15 September 1916, where your Grandmother's two cousins were lost.

Part 1:

The below links concern the 27th Canadian Infantry Battalion, C.E.F. of which Private Archibald James Viznaugh was a part of. These pages are from the 27th Bn's War Diary for Sept 1916:
