The raiders went in and captured the sentry - no noise - and so CSM King led the party into the German trench ... so far the raiders have complete surprise.
Turning from the sap, into the trench the German sentry was surprised, and an alert sounded - leading to a short and sharp melee...
Two defeneders killed in round 1, and Pte Thomas. In round 2 more German defenders were appearing, and the raiders were losing their impeteus. they fell back, loosing Pte Bradbury.
Collecting the prisoner, there was a dash through 'no man's land' dodging start shells and Mg fire - with CSM King wounded, and left in a shell hole.
There was an exchange of mortar fire, and then all quiet. A stretcher party will now have to head out and find the CSM.
