| Entry | The Battalion reorganised on the CORPS LINE in front of BEAUVOIS, and were distributed in depth. About 5.30pm the enemy made a determined onslaught with overwhelming forces, the greater weight of the attack being delivered on the Right. Our Right Flank being in the air, we were compelled to withdraw 600 yards. The trenches were only 18 inches deep, and at 6.30pm a terrific barrage was put down on this line, lasting 10 minutes. About 7pm Battalion reorganised and held out until 12 midnight, when order was received from 183 BRIGADE to march to VOYENNES, from whence march was continued to LANGUEVOISIN, where battalion rested for the night. |
