Saturday 21st October 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
The enemy, it
seems, have not yet given up their dreams of holding the Schwaben Redoubt,
taken by 39th Division on 14th October. This morning they launched an attack to
re-take it but were defeated. Perhaps now they will “get the message” as one of
the soldiers said to me.
A major
attack involving four divisions, 18th (Eastern), 25th, 39th and 4th Canadian
got underway today. As is appropriate the Canadians attacked Regina Trench west
of Le Sars, which they took. 18th, 25th and 39th Divisions all captured their
allotted sections of Stuff Trench and
at Stump Road an amazing 731
prisoners, nineteen machine guns and three field guns were captured.
