During the operations south of Pilkem, between the 6th and 8th of July 1915, the British trenches were within sixty yards of a German sap, which had to be destroyed, with about thirty yards of thick wire entanglements, to clear the way for an infantry attack. With great coolness and enterprise. Second-Lieutenant Parr Aldous Robinson, of the 135th Battery Royal Field Artillery, conveyed under fire from the enemy's guns an eighteen-pounder field gun across the Yser Canal on a raft. On being landed, it was removed to the British fire trenches, and in destroying the sap and entanglements, the gun was of great use in the way for a successful infantry attack. 

The events of the Rifle Brigades assault is detailed in 32 Brigade RFA's war diary.

The opening bombardment commenced at 05:00 in accordance with the fire plan. Early morning mist prevented observation till 05:40, however the infantry were able to report that the wire had been successfully cut by Lieutenant Robinson's gun (target G) and 134 Battery (target C and D). The assault was launched at 06:00, and had no difficulty occupying the enemy's first line trenches. The batteries of 32 Brigade continued to fire till 07:00 to aid consolidation of the trenches seized. During the day enemy counter attacks were repulsed aided by fires from 32 Brigade RFA and the objectives were secured.
