Thursday 19th October 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
It has rained
again all day today, turning the battlefield into a vile soup of mud and filth
dotted with bodies and destroyed equipment. German flame-throwers and infantry
attacked the South African Brigade this morning near a position called The Nose
east of Le Sars. This caused them to retreat but artillery halted any further
German advance. Meanwhile a trench north-east of Gueudecourt was found to be empty of enemy and was occupied by 4th Division.
