19th Mar 1916<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bn moved into the support lines at at H.30.a, Blaue Pourt Farm<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> and Armagh Wood<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. Except one NCO wounded and Sgt Maj Sharp killed (see burial book) these were three quiet days. On the night of 21st and 22nd the Bn was relieved by the 4th Bn East Yorkshires and moved back to Dickebusch Huts<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. This was a difficult relief due to traffic congestion.<\/p>\n

Usual refitting, reclothing and Coy parades. On the 23rd Gen Sir Douglas Haig came and inspected the Bn; it was a wet day and he only saw the men in their huts. A concert was held the same night in the YMCA hut, which went off successfully. The 50th Divn relieved the 3rd Divn in a sector running from the Ypres-Comines Canal at 'The Bluff'<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span> to Trench '34', the 50th Divn front being held once more by two Bdes and extending from the Bluff to Trench 'A.3'.<\/p>\n

25th - 27th Mar 1916<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the night of 24th, the Bn went up to the trenches at Mount Sorrel<\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span> , between Hill 60<\/span>6<\/sup><\/a><\/span> and Sanctuary Wood<\/span>7<\/sup><\/a><\/span> . The next two days were quiet, however, on the 26th Canadian officers, from the Bn due to relieve the 4th Bn, visited the trenches. On the 27th the Bn was relieved by the 5th Bn and proceeded to close support positions, with the Bn HQ at Square Wood<\/span>8<\/sup><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
