Chris_B Posted 1 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 July , 2005 Chris. To be precise, they were holding the line around Broodseinde on this day. Dave. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The mother site says this: "On the 20th October the 2/Seaforth Highlanders and 1/Royal Welsh Fusiliers were sent forward to capture positions that would assist communications across the river Lys. Initial success could not be exploited due to lack of high-explosive shell." Is that accurate? Regards, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 28 July , 2005 Share Posted 28 July , 2005 The answer to your question is Yes. Here is a page from the main site here detailing 7th Divisions War. http://www.1914-1918.net/7div.htm If you click on the Long, Long Trail link at the top of this page (or follow the links from 7th Divisions page) there is lots more information available.
