Failed to say which Bn

War Diary is very terse. Start of 9th Battalion WD. Also in 108th Brigade.

Entries

13th

Battalion held a position on top of ridge at Wulverghem. Enemy attacked, but was driven back.

14th

Battn returned to Kemmel. Shelters behind Kemmel Hill. Here received orders to proceed to Beehive Dugouts.

This seems to provide a summary that matches the WDs.

I am looking for details of the 1st Bn Royal Irish Fusiliers I had not said 1st Bn  on 14 April 1918 in my post.

My apologies to readers.

Many Thanks for your help Mark

Confused. The relevant 1st Bn Diary is in the start of the 9 Bn’s WD. It covers a few pages and the 9th’s about 600+.
