| Entry | "A" coy's patrol pushed out in the early morning and entered Farm about 400 yards to their front but were enfiladed by enemy machine guns and forced to withdraw. 2nd Lieut WB MAURAU was wounded. About 3am a patrol from "B" coy got as far as VERTBOIS FARM and finding it unoccupied established a post there. This was found to be untenable during the morning owing to heavy shelling. No further advances were made during the day and on the night of the 8/9th "C" coy relieved "B" coy on the left and "D" coy relieved "A" coy on the right. 2nd Lieut IG DAVIES "A" coy was killed by a shell. |
