| Entry | At 11am the Battalion moved out to take up a defensive position at the Bridgehead where the VOYENNES Road crosses the CANEL, and eventually formed a line on the RAILWAY and dug in. There was intense MG and rifle fire at 11pm, but no infantry attack ensued. The morning passed without incident. Our snipers found plenty of targets, and a number of the enemy were hit. The enemy worked round our flanks, and the position becoming untenable, a withdrawal was ordered at 6pm. A delaying action was fought, and the Battalion withdrew with slight losses to the QUARRY behind BREUIL, eventually digging in on a line between CRESSY and BEHTANCOURT. During this day's fighting Capt G L WORLOCK MC and 2/Lieut J W BARBER were wounded. |
