Sunday 16th
September 1917
Today it has
been the enemy’s turn to attack. Advances were made against 20th (Light)
Division, the Guards Division and 47th (1st/2nd London)
Division, the latter against the strong-point in Inverness Copse taken on
yesterday. All three attacks have been beaten off with some loss.
Following
their seaside holiday on 23rd August the five officers and three hundred other
ranks which, at present, form just over half the strength of the Battalion,
went to the sea again today. They had a nice time at Mardyk, near Dunkirk, the
adjutant remarking to me: “Weather good and all ranks much enjoyed themselves”.
