G.H.Q.

Steps are being taken to interfere with these Aeroplanes.

Two details would help us:

If 3^rd Division would say where their aeroplanes are, instead of saying “over 3^rd Cav Brig.”
If the information could be sent to us before the expiry of two hours.

Also there are six Aeroplanes with the IInd Corps. Was the information sent to them? Sending in to H.Q. adds 30 miles and no doubt other delays.

Oct. 5 & 6. On October 5^th and 6^th, 1914, the 7^th Division sailed from

SOUTHAMPTON, landed at ZEEBRUGE on the 6^th and 7^th October,

“ 7. and billeted round BRUGES.

“ 8. On the 8^th, the Division was moved Westward to cover the disembarkment of

“ 9. the 3^rd Cavalry Division at OSTEND, and on the 9^th it moved to GHENT.

“ 11. On October 11^th large enemy forces were reported to be closing in on GHENT

and, at 10 p.m. that night, the Division commenced its march to join up with the remainder of the Army in France.

“ 12^th. By daylight the 12^th it had reached the area BELLEM, AELTRE,

HANSBEKE, where a halt was made; but the proximity of the enemy necessitated an immediate resumption of the march to THIELT, which was reached at 10 p.m. that night.

“ 13^th. On the 13^th ROULERS was reached, and on the 14^th

”14^th YPRES, where a halt was made.

“ 16^th On the 16^th the Division moved forward to the line

“ 18^th. ZANDVOORDE – GHELUVELT – ZONNEBEKE; and on the 18^th, to the line

ZANDVOORDE – KRUISEIK – TERHAND.

Orders were received to attack MENIN the next day.

“ 19^th.The attack which was directed on KLEYTHOEK was made by the 22^nd

Infantry Brigade moving astride the MENIN – ROULERS Road. Before it had gone far, however, it was taken in flank by the enemy coming from COURTRAI direction, and the 22^nd Infantry Brigade was forced to withdraw to a general line ZANDVOORDE – KRUISEIK – ZONNEBEKE. This withdrawal was successfully carried out.

“20^th. On October 20^th, the 20^th Infantry Brigade was ordered to reconnoitre

GHELUWE, and by 12.30 p.m. had got within 800 yards of that place when strong hostile columns were reported advancing from BECELAERE and ZONNEBEKE. The 20^th Infantry Brigade was consequently withdrawn, not, however, before it had suffered some loss.

By 4 p.m. this day heavy fighting was in progress along the whole front held by the Division and it was from now onward that the enemy delivered his great series of attacks known as the 1^st Battle of YPRES.

The chief weight of these attacks was delivered against the 7^th Division. The enemy was able to enfilade our line both from the North and South; he had a great superiority in numbers and artillery, and was able to hurl fresh troops into the battle against our worn and tired battalions; but in spite of all their efforts the Germans could not destroy the fighting spirit and resistance of our troops.

“ 21^st. During the morning of October 21^st, the enemy strongly attacked the 2^nd

Cavalry Division at HOUTHEM. This attack exposed the right flank of the 7^th Division and two Companies of 2^nd Battalion Scots Guards were sent up to the threatened flank. Later on it became necessary to send part of the 3^rd Cavalry Division also to this flank. The enemy seized this opportunity to make a strong attack against our weakened left flank. He got to within 200 yards of our line which here was held by 22^nd Infantry Brigade, but was there held up by rifle fire. It was decided to withdraw the 22^nd Infantry Brigade, during the night, to a line running through POLYGON WOOD, North Westwards, and at the same time the 3^rd Cavalry Division took over a portion of the front of the 20^th Infantry Brigade.

Oct 22^nd. All morning of 22^nd October heavy artillery fire was directed against the

junction of the 21^st and 22^nd Infantry Brigades and this was followed, in the afternoon by strong hostile attacks. These attacks at first forced back the right of the 22^nd Infantry Brigade, but subsequently, after severe fighting, the situation was restored.

“ 23. On the 23^rd October, the enemy continued to bombard the left of our line, held

by the 21^st Infantry Brigade, and also the KRUISEIK SALIENT on our right of which was held by the 20^th Infantry Brigade. Later strong attacks developed against the 21^st Infantry Brigade. These attacks, however, were beaten off, after severe fighting.

“ 24. On October 24^th, the enemy bombardment started early in the morning, and

attacks made with masses of men followed. Before 8 a.m. the enemy’s weight of numbers had enabled him to break through our lines on the left of the 21^st Infantry Brigade and enter POLYGON WOOD. This made the situation of the 20^th Infantry Brigade holding KRUISEIK Hill precarious and endangered the whole of our right being cut off. The only troops available for immediate action were the 2^nd Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment, much weakened and tired, and the Northumberland Hussars. Both were sent up to save the situation which at one time was so serious that the whole of Divisional Headquarters were lined up to oppose the enemy. However, the counter-attack was a conspicuous success: by 10 a.m. the enemy’s advance had been checked, and he was even driven back some distance, but he could not be completely expelled from the WOOD.

The situation at POLYGON WOOD had just been restored when the enemy, at 2 p.m., attacked the junction of the 20^th and 21^st Infantry Brigades just East of GHELUVELT.

The 1^st Grenadier Guards bore the brunt of this attack and after desperate fighting checked the enemy advance.

While this fighting was taking place the 2^nd Division relieved the 22^nd Infantry Brigade who were brought into Divisional Reserve.

“ 25. During the 25^th of October the enemy renewed his violent attacks against the

junction of the 20^th and 21^st Infantry Brigades, but without success. Meanwhile the enemy succeeded in breaking through our line at KRUISEIK, and the Brigadier 20^th Infantry Brigade threw in his last reserves to recover the position. This enabled the situation to be restored and 200 of the enemy were captured. The 104^th Battery gave very valuable support to the Infantry this day.

The 20^th Infantry Brigade by this time was rapidly becoming exhausted. It had been exposed to incessant enfilade artillery fire for some days and had had to repulse innumerable attacks. To relieve the pressure on it, the 22^nd Infantry Brigade was ordered forward and during the night

“ 26. 26^th/27^th October took over most of the line held by the 20^th Infantry Brigade.

The line held running from the Cross roads East of GHELUVELT to ZANDVOORDE.

For the next two days no serious attack was made against our positions, and the opportunity was taken to reorganise the defence.

“ 27. On the evening of 27^th October, our line was held by the 21^st Infantry Brigade

on right, 20^th Infantry Brigade on left, 22^nd Infantry Brigade in reserve.

Oct. 29^th. On October 29^th, the enemy began a series of six days continuous

attacks, delivered on a scale which exceeded all his previous efforts.

These started in the early morning with an attack delivered at about 8 a.m. against our left and the 1^st Division on our left. Our line was broken and the flank of the 20^th Infantry Brigade exposed to a heavy enfilade fire which forced it back from the cross roads. An immediate counter-attack partially restored the situation but failed to recover the Cross roads. Severe fighting continued all day, and at nightfall our line ran from a point half way between GHELUVELT & the cross roads to a point 1,500 yards West of KRUISEIK.

At nightfall the line was held by portions of the 20^th Infantry Brigade on the left, by the 21^st Infantry Brigade on the right, with the 1^st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers between the 21^st Infantry Brigade and the Cavalry at ZANDVOORDE.

“ 30^th. On October 30^th, the enemy renewed his attacks with greater intensity than

ever, and succeeded in capturing ZANDVOORDE Ridge: the 30^th and 31^st of October were the most critical days of the whole of the 1^st Battle of YPRES.

At about 8.30 a.m. the Cavalry on the right, under heavy pressure, withdrew from ZANDVOORDE which the enemy at once occupied. This exposed the right of the 1^st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers who were enfiladed by rifle and machine gun fire. The Germans then brought up 12 Field Guns into ZANDVOORDE and opened a heavy fire on our positions from the rear at close range. The 105^th and 106^th Batteries at once sent up a section each which opened an accurate fire on these guns putting some out of action. This fine piece of work on the gunners part prevented the enemy making full use of the commanding position he had won on ZANDVOORDE Ridge.

The position of the 1^st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, however, was precarious. Two Battalions of the 20^th Infantry Brigade and some Cavalry were rushed up to their assistance, but it was not possible to relieve them, and the 1^st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers fighting to the last man were overwhelmed by the enemy losing their Commanding Officer, 10 Officers, and 350 men out of 450. Two Battalions were then sent forward to stop, at all costs, the enemy’s further advance and regain, if possible, the ZANDVOORDE Ridge. They succeeded in checking the enemy’s advance but could not recapture the Ridge.

Meanwhile on the left the enemy had delivered equally heavy attacks along the MENIN Road and had captured GHELUVELT. That evening our line ran a little to the West of the VELDHOEK – ZANDVOORDE Road and was held by the 21^st Infantry Brigade on the left, the 22^nd Infantry Brigade on the right, the 20^th Infantry Brigade in reserve.

“ 31^st. Between 10 and 11 a.m. on October 31^st, the enemy’s attacks were renewed

against the left of our line. During the fighting the left of the 21^st Infantry Brigade became exposed and the 20^th Infantry Brigade was brought up to restore the situation which was successfully accomplished.

The 22^nd Infantry Brigade also was heavily attacked, and it was only after a very heavy and fluctuating fight that it managed to beat off the enemy. By the evening of this day, however, all enemy attacks had been repulsed and our line re-established.

It has now two Battalions, the first and the fourth, actually in the fighting line of the present Expeditionary Force in France.

It has now two Battalions, the first and the fourth, actually in the fighting line of the present Expeditionary Force in France.

The Government regulations are for two pairs of boots to be supplied to each man. It is thought however that most men would prefer to obtain for themselves one pair, which they are at liberty to do, and for which an allowance of 12s. 3d. will be made. It is necessary however that these should be of regulation pattern, viz: – Black, Derby fronts. No toe caps.

As some of the kit cannot be obtained for several days, men will, when warned, turn up in their oldest clothes and bring with them such necessaries as they may require for a few days, e.g., Brush and Comb, Shaving and Tooth Brushes, Razor and Socks.

Notice of Mobilization will be given.
