They spent the night of the 9th October where they lay, in the front line, while the enemy sniped them, shelled their supports, or put down sudden wandering barrages from front to back. Every company commander had been killed or wounded during the day; their medical officer (Captain P. R. Woodhouse, M.C.) was wounded at duty on the 10th, the men were caked with mud and ooze, worn to their last nerves and badly in need of food and hot drinks. There was no infantry action on their front, however, throughout the 10th, and in the evening they were relieved by two companies of the 1st Grenadiers; the other two companies of that battalion relieving the 2nd Grenadiers in the support-line. The battle, which counted as “a successful minor operation” in the great schemes of the Third Battle of Ypres, had cost them four officers killed in action on the 9th, one died of wounds on the 11th, seven officers and their doctor wounded in the two days; forty-seven other ranks killed; one hundred and fifty-eight wounded, and ten missing among the horrors of the swampy pitted ground. The list runs: Capt. the Hon. P. J. Ogilvy } Capt. R. J. P. Rodakowski } 2nd Lieut. A. L. Wells } killed October 9. 2nd Lieut. T. S. V. Stoney } 2nd Lieut. H. V. Fanshawe died 11th October of wounds received on the 9th. Capt. R. B. S. Reford } Lieut. N. B. Bagenal } Lieut. D. S. Browne } wounded October 9th. 2nd Lieut. E. M. Harvey } 2nd Lieut. T. Corry } Capt. P. R. Woodhouse } Lieut. H. H. Maxwell } wounded October 10th. 2nd Lieut. E. H. Dowler } It took them eight hours along the taped tracks and the duck-boards to get to Rugby Camp behind Boesinghe, where they stayed for the next two days and drew a couple of officers and a hundred men from the Divisional Reinforcement Battalion to replace some of their casualties.
