Thursday 22nd
November 1917
Today has
seen more German counter-attacks, which have gained some ground. The 8th
Bedfords, between Noyelles and Cantaing and in front of Nine Wood, were
frequently shelled during the morning.
At 1 pm the
enemy launched a determined attack from Fontaine-Notre-Dame towards Anneux.
Towards dusk, at four o’clock a few of the enemy appeared to be approaching the
Bedfords from a small wood north of Noyelles and were promptly driven off by
machine-gun fire.
Meanwhile,
the British line has not really moved. Bourlon Wood still remains in enemy
hands.
