havergal Posted 21 January , 2009 Share Posted 21 January , 2009 Sorry - I pressed 'send' absent mindedly before I'd finished typing! The content of the previous post is from 'Royal Naval Division Casualties of the Great War' and should allow census searches, etc. for more of a 'back story'. The text below is the w/d for 1/RMLI from the excellent CWGC.co.uk site: 6th 7.45am 2/RMLI arrived in support. At 9.30am a counter-attack by 2/RMLI, assisted by 1/RMLI was successful in re-installing original FRONT LINE. Contact was obtained with 4th BEDFORD on our left. Line was consolidated under heavy shell fire, & both Bns. reorganised with 1/RMLI on RIGHT & 2/RMLI on LEFT. Enemy aeroplanes were active during the afternoon, dropping lights along our line of Posts. In the counter-attack 55 prisoners & 10 MGs were captured. Remaining details of ROYAL FUSILIERS were withdrawn after dark. 2/Lts. BIRGER & SPRAGON, MIDDLESEX Regt., 2/Lt. DARK, R.W. KENTS & TREGEDGA RM wounded. Hope that helps!
