| Entry | About 6.30pm the French on left of Staffords retired and about 500 Germans crossed the ZONNEBEKE - BECELARE road, within 600 yards of our Bn HQ. Most of the enemy withdrew E of road, but about 150 remained in old trenches just W of road. Thus Staffords left was dangerously exposed and so at 12 pm on 12/13 it was decided to retire to line of road. The Battn was allotted line from 5th kilometre stone to 60th Rifles in right, and one Coy (D) was left out in redoubt in wood E of road. C Coy in reserve. The withdrawal was carried out without a hitch at 3am on 13th. |
