A patrol of 1 Officer and 20 ORS (Batt Scouts) with a Lewis Gun, left our lines at 2030 hrs and proceeded to CHAPEAU DE GENDARME with the object of killing or capturing enemy post there. Nine Bulgars were clearly seen on the skyline and fire was opened upon them with Lewis Gun and rifles, and then patrol charged. The enemy fled and it was noticed that one man was being carried. Our artillery at the same time, had a shoot on, and the Bulgar replied by putting down Trench Mortar Barrages and artillery Barrages as though he expected an attack. Our patrol was prevented giving further chase to the enemy owing to the barrage.
