The weather remained good and artillery duels continued. The
British “sent a good number of shells in to the enemy lines” and in response
the Germans sent a number of large shells into Chapelle d’Armentieres. They
also shelled a Battalion working party who were constructing a dressing station
immediately behind HQ at Farm du Biez; the working party dispersed without
casualties despite the detonation of six ‘whizz-bangs’. Company officers were
instructed to keep a particular look out for German machine guns and
information on the position of a number of them was reported to Brigade.
Overnight, conditions remained quiet.
Pte. Herbert Walker (12315) (see 2nd
June 1915) suffered an accidental bayonet wound to his knee (the exact
circumstances are unknown); he would be evacuated (details unknown) to one of
the Base Hospitals at St. Omer.
L.Cpl. William Munday
(see 18th October 1915)
began to be paid according to his rank, having previously held his appointment
unpaid.
Pte. Patrick Conley (see 10th June 1915) departed on one week leave to
England.
