The Regiment had 8 entries for 2nd Class and 53 entries for 3rd Class, who actually competed, and, there would have been more but for demobilisation coming more than usually quickly.
The month passed pleasantly and without incident.

(This is the last entry in the 2nd Battalions War Diary 1914-1919)

A Company secured the start line and D Company, left, and B Company, right, were to attack the wood.

The Regiment proceeded to" occupy the wood. Flooded ground made digging almost impossible and heavy shell fire caused considerable casualties—forty-two in all, including Lieutenant A. F. M. Paget, D.S.O., who was mortally wounded.
