| Entry | Working parties afternoon only. B and D Companies relieved A and C Coys by 10.0a.m. The GOC held another Conference of Commanding Officers and Adjutants in the afternoon. The Brigadier held a Conference of Commanding Officers at Brigade Headquarters. Enemy's guns were rather more active in the day. A hostile aeroplane dropped two bombs on the village and one near the Right Coy Headquarters - no damage was done. A patrol under Lieut Down went out from the Right about 10.0p.m. returning about 12.30a.m. They visited the "Christmas Tree" on the way out, working towards the enemy's wire; on the return journey they passed near the tree. A party of 12 of the enemy had evidently seen them and were waiting to catch them on their return. Our patrol was fired on and one was wounded in two places, but they all returned. Weather:- a fine day and very clear night. Remarks Casualties - 2 wounded. |
