or CEW Beans Official History Vol V The AIF in France Dec 1917- May 1918

Quote: 'The Attack on the spur screening Hazehrouck from the of April 14 enemy. Ahout the same time German infantry were seen pouring into the wood (Celery Copse) at

the foot of Mont de Merris. On that hill Lieutenant

Cl~anipion.~ commanding the left company of the 3rd Battalion,

was. for the sake of observation, maintaining some forward

posts, one thrust out towards the old British trenches north-

west of RIerris, and another west of the village in a farm

(afterwards known as *‘ Gutzer Farm ”) which Lieutenant

Jarvisa had allowed one of his corporals to occupy with a

Lewis gun crew.'
