The Battalion moved back to Framerville, where Quartermaster's Stores and Transport rejoined. The enemy's retirement. Road-mending in No-Man's-Land. The devastated area. Open warfare. The Montolu campaign. Operations on the Omignon river. The 61st Division relieved before St. Quentin. End of trench-warfare. On March 16, 1917, the Germans left their front line and scuttled back behind the Somme.
After their week's exposure I was loth to inform my men of such a destiny. But a more favourable turn of events was in store. The weather cleared, and at 11 a.m. on the 7th I was allowed to return to my version of Montolu Wood. On the same day the Battalion was relieved by the Bucks and marched back through Soyécourt to Caulaincourt.
Ten prisoners were captured by the Bucks, whose only casualties resulted from our own shells dropping short and an unfortunate mistake of some other troops, who lost direction and, pressing forward, encountered men of their own side. Towards evening the General ordered D Company forward to occupy Montolu Wood. The journey was made at dusk through a blinding storm of hail and rain.
