| Entry | Battalion remained in its positions on the 2nd Objective until at 17:00. Orders were received that the Brigade would take over from the 54th Brigade who were still fighting for the 3rd Objective on the Left of the Divisional Front. The situation was very obscure and relief was rendered very difficult by the fact that 54th Brigade was undertaking a minor operation with the view of making good the 3rd Objective, and that the operation had commenced before relief orders arrived. In consequence of this the Battalion concentrated at the H.Q. 6th Northants, BOUSIES WOOD FARM, and companies there awaited their guides. During the morning LIEUT COLONEL N.B. HUDSON MC, who was wounded on 8th August last, arrived and took over command of the Battalion from MAJOR A.F.S. NORTHCOTE who proceeded to rejoin 7th R.W. Kents Regt. |
