| Location | France, FRONT LINE NEAR BOURLON |
| Entry | The shelling of our sector and the SUGAR FACTORY was less intense and we had long periods of comparative peace. Between 8 and 9pm our positions in the line were readjusted, as the Battn was mixed up with 23/RF by reason of the several reinforcements that had taken place, and our B Company, having taken the weight of the attack on the previous day was in need of a rest. As a result of the move our C and A Companies remained on L and Centre of the line with D and B Companies in support at the gunpits and the quarry respectively. B Coy 23/RF reinforced by 2 Companies [sic] of D Coy 23/RF held the line between our A Company and the Sunken Road, and C Coy 23/RF took over the posts and the 2 strong points NE of Sunken Road. This inter Battn relief passed off quietly - casualties nil. A quiet night. Good progress was made with wiring, consolidating the front line with the help of 1 Company 10/DCLI and 1 section 483 Field Co RE. |
