| Entry | (4th - 6th) During this period the Battn remained at RAVELSBERG CAMP and except for being called upon to supply two small working parties the men were able to rest. On the 4th reinforcements to other ranks joined the Battn. In the afternoon of the 5th a party of 50 other ranks from C & D Coy under 2nd Lieuts Brown, D F and Ludford, W E carried out a raid upon the enemy's defences opposite the WULVERGHEM Sector and penetrated to his reserve line in his front system of trenches. Unfortunately, none of the enemy were encountered and the trenches were found to be quite unoccupied. Casualties were caused by sniping fire from the flanks and by one or two of our own shells falling short : the numbers were : Killed, 1 other rank, wounded, 8 other ranks, wounded still at duty, 3, and missing, 2 other ranks. |
