Hull Comercials - into the line

 The Knuston Pals say cheerio, for now, as they head off for Gwalia farm, near Poperinge.  

They are relived by the 15th (Service) Battalion of the East Yorkshire Regiment (5th Hull Pals, Commercials) who will now 'hold the line' for the coming weeks ...

Holding the line - the raid - follow up

The stretcher party and the Padre went out to find the CSM.  This had to be completed in five game turns; with an alert defeneder firing star shells.  

The stretcher bearers were pinned down on turn 3, and had to retreat  -with one wounded.  CSM King is officialy posted as missing.

Intelligence from from the prisoner - the opposition sector is manned by the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Hohenzollern-Simaringen- Anspach Regiment.  Morale is high!

The Knuston Pals rotation is complete and they will now hand over to the Hull Commercials.  From the original 20, four are dead, one wounded and one missing.  Attached arms have two wounded.
