Who was the first to arrive ? Was it

Gunner Ernest Twycross of the Royal Garrison Artillery.
Or
Captain Adams and Signaler Wright both from the 44th Battalion AIF
Or
Lt Fraser, intelligence officer with the 42nd Battalion AIF and 5 others
Or someone else ?

If Twycross was not the first to arrive, then the reliability of his revelation to his son, 48 years after the event, that he heard Von Richthofen’s last words, is even more dubious.
