Monday 10th
September 1917
Almost, it
seems, as a reply to the discomfort of the 2nd Battalion, 6th Battalion, at
Mount Sorrel south-east of Zillebeke, last night attempted a raid on enemy
trenches in the area inside the black
box marked on the map above.
B Company
under Second Lieutenant D W Wright made the raid but, in the laconic report of
the adjutant it “proved a complete
failure owing to the artillery shooting short and putting the barrage between
ourselves and our objective. Fortunately no casualties”.
