| Entry | During the night it was proposed to relieve the Wilts by the Warwicks but through some error only one and a half companies of the Warwicks arrived and that in daylight. 'D' Coy and Bn HQ were successfully got away about noon but the remainder were forced to remain in the trenches till dusk and suffered rather severely under a heavy German shellfire all day. At dusk most of the men were got away & returned to billets in CAMERON LANE, but it was not till quite late at night that the whole Battalion was re-assembled. In fact odd men & parties kept arriving during the next day. These were chiefly from the 64 men sent as bridge carriers on the 10th with the 2/Yorks & 2/R Scots Fusrs. The following are the casualties of the Battn during the 10th & 13th March. Killed wounded missing sick officers 6 11 - 2 NCOs & men 58 162 56 - total officers 19 men 276 |
