In the afternoon the 7th Bde took over a portion of the 7th Bde line: the 2nd S Lancs Regt relieved the left, centre and support companies of this Battn and this Battn took over one front line Coy Sector from the 8th LN Lancs on the right. The redistribution of the line left two Coys of the Battn in the front line: One company became support company in the neighbourhood of RESERVE FM and one company became reserve company in SEVEN TREES AVE. and GUNNER FM. The operation was completed by the evening. There were no casualties during the relief but in the early morning of the 5th 2nd Lieut LG Lewis was wounded.
