| Entry | Battalion moves to ALT TRENCH near GLATZ REDOUBT in the evening, and is intermittently shelled with hostile heavies. At 9.30pm the Battalion moves by the MARICOURT- MONTAUBAN ROAD to the space between BERNAFAY and TRONES WOODS, and is heavily shelled all the way, losing 45 men. No 12 platoon of 'C' company under 2/LT TRENCH was completely knocked out but for himself and 3 men, owing to passing a lorry full of explosives at the moment when it was blown up by a shell. The Battalion on arrival "dug in" between BERNAFAY and TRONES with the 19th MANCHESTERS in front and the 2nd Yorkshires on the left. |
