HarrogatePal Posted 6 June , 2016 Share Posted 6 June , 2016 Captain Ablitt of the 1/5th West Yorkshires led a party from Vierstraat to Ridge Wood on 25th April, moving to Ouderdom the next day. The 1/5th had withdrawn during the 25th from Wytscaete to Vierstraat and I wonder why Ablitt headed north leaving the remains of the Battalion at Vierstraat. Any ideas as to why he did this, and what was happening at Ridge Wood? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
