| Entry | In the early hours of the morning the Comdg Offr Lt Col BH Leatham DSO received a bullet wound in the chest and died almost immediately. During the day the Battn remained in the aforesaid position and there is nothing to report other than the order to be ready to render a covering fire in support of an attack which was to have been made on our left, but which was afterwards cancelled. Major CG Forsyth assumed command. In the evening the Battn were ordered to take up a new position in reserve trenches running at right angles to and on the North of HULLOCH ROAD immediately behind the German trenches. After being relieved by the 1/4th Cameron Highlanders the night was spent in improving our new position. In this position the Battn was in support to the 1/4th Cameron Highrs. |
