War Diary

1916-04-17
Regiment 1st Wiltshire
Location France, La Targette
Entry Mine fatigues. During the night there was a considerable amount of bombing after the explosion of an enemy mine, it was thought that the enemy had got into part of the outpost line and blocks were put up, but it was subsequently discovered that the trench was clear. The Lewis rifle of A Coy was brought up from the support line and did effective work.
