CROISILLES (SECTOR) JAN 16th
Bt
in the Front Line Trenches. Hostile Artillery fairly quiet. Enemy Snipers
were busy and fired at any target given them. White flares lights
which when in the air burst into two white stars appeared to be a signal
fired from his Front Line to his Artillery when any great movement our
lines was seen. Movement was caused on top because the C.T.'s were full
of mud. Condition of ground too bad for Patrol work.
A Working Party at work in BOW LANE were shelled and
suffered 6 casualties 3 killed & 3 wounded (men were not of the Bn)
Inter Company Relief
do 17th
Bn in the Front Line Trenches. Hostile Artillery & M.G.'s
fairly active and sniping whenever possible at movement over the top.
The C.T.'s being impassable owing to mud from recent thaw after severe
frosts & rain, over the top was the only meansof getting water and
food from the rear Trenches to Front Line System.
In the evening, this Bn was relieved by the 18th Bn The Welsh
Regt and went into Brigade Support at RAILWAY RESERVE.
