| Entry | Headquarters were again heavily shelled but fortunately there were no Casualties. Battalion was relieved by 9th Welch in the evening and went back to billets at KINGS ROAD. A party of 100 men left behind to assist in wiring. Lt. Tynam sic [Tynan] and scouts also remained behind with the object of capturing a German listening post. Lt. Tynam sic [Tynan] went out between the lines and got between the German line and their listening post. When he got within a few yards of the post, he ordered the occupants to "hands up" and was met with a bomb which fortunately failed to explode. Lt. Tynam sic [Tynan] retaliated with a bomb with the result that 2 Germans were killed whilst a third ran away and walked into our lines. Remarks; MAP SHEET 36A |
