"On returning to the 1/6th Cheshires on our left, a counter-attack had already been launched against their left flank, consequently it was decided to withdraw to the Winnipeg-Kansas Cross Roads.
The 48th Division on the left and the 15th on the right were to co-operate with the 184th Brigade in the attack. Shortly before 5 the bombardment started. The Berks came afterwards as 'moppers up.
