War Diary

1915-09-29
Regiment 2nd Wiltshire
Location France, Trenches
Entry The enemy heavily bombards their original front line, which was occupied by the 2/Bn Yorkshire Regt, otherwise the day passes quickly. About 9pm we were relieved by the Kings Liverpools ( [blank in diary] Bn) and occupied the original British front line on the North of HULLOCH ROAD. Major CG Forsyth was forced to go to the Field Ambulance and Lieut PP Legg assumes command. About midnight the Battn was ordered to move up the HULLOCH ROAD to help repulse a counter attack. The Battn had only moved a few hundred yards when it was ordered to return to its position in old British firing line.
