Annette Burgoyne Posted 1 August , 2003 Share Posted 1 August , 2003 Hi Andrew To keep it breif, the fighting on the 24th May, 1915, at Bellewaarde Ridge was the last days fighting of the Battle of 2nd Ypres, which had began on the 22nd April. The 28th Div. was very much involved, the Germans attack fell on them and the 4th Div. Both Divisions lost some of their line, the 28th Div. lost part of its line from the Menin Road to the Roulers railway line, also the Cav. Div. lost a bit of its line to the right of the Menin Road. The 27th Div. made counter-attacks but did not regain the line, a new line formed near Witte Poort Farm. Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 1 August , 2003 Author Share Posted 1 August , 2003 Thanks for the info Annette. Just to clarify, did the loss of ground you alude to occur during the period 22nd April - 25th May as a whole or just 24th-25th May, 1915. Thanks again, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
