Stevend Posted 4 April Share Posted 4 April This soldier was killed on the opening day of the Battle of Aras 9th April 1917. I have tried to look at the war diary but its very blurred. I was hoping someone can tell me what happened that day. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullochArd Posted 4 April Share Posted 4 April On 9 April 1917 7 SEAFORTH (26 Bde/9 Div) were right leading battalion for the 26 Bde attack on Arras. They met no serious resistance except on their flank at a point described as the "Island" which is near Blangy. This feature was stormed and captured. Alexander Bissett was one of the Battalion's 181 casualties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
