Many thanks, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin W Taylor Posted 13 October , 2013 Share Posted 13 October , 2013 Graeme The diary for the 16th August has the battalion at Hollebeke: 'Barrage by our artillery in conjunction with operations further N at 4.45am lasting until 5.45am. Enemy retaliated. 4 OR killed, 1 died of wounds, 28 wounded.' 17 Sept: 'Relieved by 10th Queens R W Surrey Regt in 8 posts on right, 21st KRR 2 posts and 18th KRR 3 posts on left. A & D Coys marched to bivouac at COTTAGE CAMP (N9b sheet 28[?]) and B & C Coys to SPOIL BANK.' No mention of casualties. The 16th states: 'Fairly quiet day. Some gas shells over during the night. Casualties 3 OR killed, 6 wounded.' I hope this helps Kind regards Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
