As events turned out, there was no fighting in this part, and all threat to the Salonican forces from this quarter having been removed by the end of February, the Brigade marched 97 miles in seven days and " took over " on the Vardar front on March 18th. Patrol work and various minor operations were carried out by the Brigade on this front, this battalion capturing Goldies Hill on 8th May, 1917, and holding it in spite of many counter attacks. In June, 1917, the 60th Division was transferred to the Egyptian Expedi- tionary Force, this battalion embarking on June 21st, and reaching Alexandria on the 25th. After refitting at Ismailia, it marched to Kantara, and proceeded thence by train to Deir El Belah. From there it marched to Shellal and took over a part of the line in the Wadi Ghuzze. For three months there were no active operations, and advantage was taken of this to give the division a strenuous training in the style of warfare likely to be encountered. Throughout the campaign, which opened at the end of October, 1917, the 60th Division held the right flank of the British line. After being in reserve at the taking of Beersheba, the battalion carried the Turkish position at Kauwaukah on November 6th. It is difficult to detach the doings of a single battalion from those of the Division to which it belonged, and, if for a bit we now talk of the 60th Division’s doings, it must not be assumed that the 2/16th London was invariably in front of the battle . . or invariably out of it. After the successful attack of the 179th Brigade at Kauwaukah, the 181st went through it, and, after a heavy fight, captured Sheria Station, and enabled the advance to be carried across the Wadi Sheria. On the same evening, the 179th drove back enemy rearguards from the ridge at Juathiny, and, continuing their progress on the following day, carried strong positions as far as Tor Dimreh near Huj. In all, between October 30th and November 8th, the infantry covered 60 miles, fighting a considerable part of the way. More marching, but not much fighting carried them on to December 7th, when the whole Brigade advanced in single file during the night over precipitous paths to attack at dawn near Am Karim. All objectives were taken, and, with other divisions equally successful, the enemy was forced to evacuate Jerusalem, which was entered two days later.
The Division then held the line to the North of the city, and on December 27th the 2/16th London, with the 2/13th, bore the brunt of the determined Turk- ish counter attack and resisted every effort to break their lines. A gallant counter attack by the 2/ 15th London greatly helped them at a critical moment. The enemy was subsequently forced to retreat seven miles further northward to Bireh, where his position was carried by the 180th Brigade. The new line was held until the middle of February, when the division carried out successful operations against the Turkish positions at El Kuntar, Jebel Ekteif and Talat Ed Dumm, which resulted in our occupying Jericho and the enemy retiring to the Eastern side of the Jordan. Towards the end of Márch the whole division was called upon to make a colossal raid, in order to strike a blow at the Hedjaz railway communication.
The Jordan was accordingly forced by the 180th Brigade on March 22nd, and two days later the 179th and 181st attacked the enemy on the foothills of the Eastern side of the plain After successful attacks, the division moved forward, and on the night of March 25th reached Es Salt. While the 181st held up the enemy near Amman, mounted troops carried out the desired destructive work, and on the night of April 1st the entire force was again withdrawn across the Jordan. At the end of the month a second and similar operation was commenced, but by this time the enemy had strongly fortified the hills at the edge of the plain, and the attempt had to be abandoned after repeated attacks spread over the period of four days.
The Division was now dissolved from its original composition. The bulk of it, including the 2/16th London, came back to France and became part of the 30th Division. This battalion had its first experience of the front line at Locre on July 31st. Ordinary trench relief took place up to 20th August, when the line was advanced by about a thousand yards, and it was again advanced on the 30th by this battalion, which was afterwards withdrawn to divisional reserve. It took over the line again on September 25th and on the 28th it attacked, cap- tured Messines and advanced the line until it conformed with the Ypres-Commines Canal. The 90th Brigade, of which the battalion was now part, attacked again on October 14th, capturing Wervicq, and on the 17th the battalion forced,the River Lys in the face of hostile machine-gun fire, and on the 18th again met with considerable resistance in the neighbourhood of Aelb eke. The advance was continued, with the 90th Brigade acting as advance guard to the 30th Division, but on the 21st the Brigade was withdrawn into divisional reserve. A short period of trench relief followed, and it had returned to divisional reserve when hostilities ceased.

9th May 1915 The Battle of Aubers Ridge: The Northern pincer  2.30am: all units in the North report that they are in position, having assembled at night. 4.06am: sunrise and all very quiet on this front.
5.00am: British bombardment opens with field guns firing shrapnel at the German wire and howitzers firing High Explosive shells onto front line. Many reports are received that British 4.7-inch shells are falling short, and even on and behind the British front line (Later it is agreed that this is due to faulty ammunition, as well as excessive wear to gun barrels). 5.30am: British bombardment intensifies, field guns switch to HE and also fire at breastworks. Two guns of 104th Battery, XXII Brigade RFA had been brought up into the 24th Brigade front and they now opened fire at point blank range against the enemy breastworks; they blow several gaps, although one of the guns is inaccurate due to the unstable ground on which it is located. The lead battalions of the two assaulting Brigades of 8th Division (24th Brigade has 2/Northants and 2/East Lancashire in front; 25th Brigade has 2/Rifle Brigade, 1/Royal Irish Rifles and 1/13 London Regiment (Kensingtons)) move out into the narrow No Man's Land (in this area it is only 100-200 yards across). German bayonets can be seen behind their parapet.
5.40am: On the further advance the 2nd East Lancs are hit by heavy machine-gun and rifle fire by the time they had progressed thirty yards from their own trench; the 2nd Northants, coming up ten minutes later, were similarly hit, but a party got through one of the gaps blown by the field guns, and into the German front trench. The attack of 25th Brigade is much more successful: the wire on the left had been well-cut and the infantry poured through, crossing the almost-undamaged breastworks and into the German fire trenches. They moved onto the first objective (a bend in the Fromelles road), and the Rifle Brigade bombers extended the trench system they occupied to 250 yards broad. On the blowing of the two mines at 5.40am, the lead companies of the Kensingtons rushed to occupy the craters, moved forward to capture Delangre Farm, and then formed a defensive flank as ordered.
6.10am: Brig.Gen. Oxley (24th Brigade) orders the support battalion, 1st Notts & Derbys, to support the attack of the Lancashires, but they are also held up with high losses, at almost unbroken wire. The front and communication trenches are by now very crowded and chaotic; German shelling adds to confusion. By now, the fire across No Man's Land was so intense that forward movement was all but impossible. The support battalion of the 25th Brigade, the 2nd Lincolns, was ordered forward, to cross by the craters; they did so, despite losing many men on the way. Men of the Brigade were at this time seen to be retiring to their front line, having apparently received a shouted order. German prisoners, making their way to the British lines, were mistaken for a counterattack and there was a great deal of confusion. Brig.Gen Lowry Cole, CO 25th Brigade, was mortally wounded when standing on the British parapet in an attempt to restore order.
8.30am: the attack had established three small lodgements in the enemy positions, but they were not in contact with each other and were under tremendous pressure. Otherwise the attack had come to a standstill and all movement into or out of the trench system had become impossible. The men in the German positions were cut off.
8.45am and again at 11.45am: Haig orders Rawlinson (CO, IV Corps) to vigorously press home the attack.
1.30pm: A renewed attack with 2nd Queens of 22nd Brigade in support, did not take place as the troops were heavily shelled in the assembly areas and many casualties were suffered even before the original support lines had been reached. Major-General Gough (CO, 7th Division, whose 21st Brigade had now also been ordered forward by Haig) reported that after a personal reconnaissance he was certain that forward movement was at the present time impossible.
5.00pm: General Haig, hearing of the continued failure of the Southern attack and the hold-up after initial success of the Northern attack, orders a bayonet attack at dusk, 8.00pm.

2nd Battalion Queens (Royal West Surrey Regiment)

9th May 1915 The Battle of Aubers Ridge: Evening and Night  2nd Battalion Queens (Royal West Surrey Regiment)
6.00pm: such chaos in the trench system and on the roads and tracks leading to it that it becomes clear that fresh units will not be ready for the 8pm attack. Haig cancels the attack and rides to Indian Corps HQ at Lestrem, to meet with all Corps commanders to consider the next moves. 7.30pm: the meeting breaks up having decided to renew the attack next day, taking advantage of night to reorganise. Efforts were made throughout the evening to reinforce the small garrisons of the lodgements in the enemy trenches. 26 men of the 2/Northants, of which 10 were wounded, returned to the British front. 2.30am 10 May: the 200 or so surviving Rifle Brigade and Royal Irish Rifles were withdrawn from their position, all efforts to reinforce them having been repulsed. 3.00am 10 May: the last few Kensingtons also returned from their position; all British troops were now out of the German lines. Around this time, First Army HQ, having by now got a good picture of the losses, failures and general conditions, called a Commanders conference for 9.00am, to take place at I Corps HQ on the Locon road, some 1.5 miles from Bethune. 9.00am 10 May: the Army and Corps commanders and staffs in attendance learned that there was insufficient artillery ammunition to continue two attacks. (The Secretary of State for War, Kitchener, had also just ordered a considerable portion of existing stocks to be sent to the Dardanelles); for example there were only some 3,000 18-lbr rounds left, and some of that was way behind the firing positions. They also heard that the 4.7-inch ammunition that had caused problems on IV Corps front was too defective for further use and that the fuzes on 15-inch heavy rounds were also defective and the shells simply did not burst on hitting the wet ground. All further orders for renewing the attack were cancelled at 1.20pm; the views of the conference were transmitted to GHQ. 7th Division was ordered to move from it's position north of Neuve Chapelle to the south of it, with a view to strengthening a future offensive there. British casualties from the 9 May attacks continued to move through the Field Ambulances for at least three days after the attack.
More than 11,000 British casualties were sustained on 9 May 1915, the vast majority within yards of their own front-line trench. Mile for mile, Division for Division, this was one of the highest rates of loss during the entire war. There is no memorial to the attack at Aubers Ridge.

13th May 1915 Enemy attacks on British Ammunition Dump  The British ammunition dump at Wieltje is attacked by the enemy. L/Sgt Douglas Belcher of the 1/5th City of London Battalion, London Regiment was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions in breaking up enemy attacks under continuous fire to protect the supplies: "Early in morning, when in charge of a portion of an advanced breastwork south of the Wieltje-St Julien Road during a very fierce and continuous bombardment by the enemy, which frequently blew in the breastwork, Lance Sergeant Belcher with a mere handful of men elects to remain and endeavor to hold his position after the troops near him have been withdrawn. By his skill and great gallantry he maintains his position during the day, opening rapid fire on the enemy, who are only 150 to 200 yards distant, whenever he sees them collecting for an attack. There is little doubt that the bold front shown by this NCO prevents the enemy breaking through on the Wieltje Road and averts an attack on the flank of one of our divisions".

15th Sep 1916 1st Surrey Rifles at High Wood  The battle for High Wood was over by the time First Surrey Rifles were engaged later that day. The 47th (London) Division book 1922 states that they captured Starfish Redoubt. The entry was made by the then GSO1 Lt Col B L Montgomery. The mystery is that Starfish Redoubt is not recorded in the Official War Diary or the Regiment's book 1927. Starfish Redoubt is clearly marked on Official Trench Maps.

26th Sep 1917 12th Londons in action  Following a heavy artillery barrage on the morning of the 26th September at 0530hrs ‘B’ Company of the 12th London’s advanced with the 2/9th London’s (Queen Victoria Rifles). The 2/9th found it difficult to maintain the correct direction due to heavy fog, boggy ground and taking heavy casualties through fire from a German trench and machine guns in a nearby pillbox. They pressed on, neutralising both positions, however they stopped a quarter of a mile short of their objective. ‘B’ Company of the 12th Londons took their objective but having failed to make contact with the 2/9th Battalion were forced to pull back to secure its flanks.
C Company 12th Londons, led by Captain Hardy went over the top at 0611hrs and were tasked with attacking an enemy pillbox positioned on the ridge. After a sharp fight captured the German pillbox, together with numerous prisoners. The action of Rifleman Ratcliffe was noted as exceptional, having found himself in charge of the remnants of No 10 Platoon, being one of only four survivors, he collected a few men who had strayed from another Battalion (possibly 2/9ths), including a Company Sergeant Major and a Lewis Gun party and took up a position covering the flank of his Company. Together with the remaining No 10 Platoon men this disparate group held the flank with the aid of a captured German machine gun. Rifleman Ratcliffe was awarded the Military Medal for this action.

30th Nov 1917 Enemy Attack  The German plan was simply to cut of the neck of the salient by attacking on each side, with the strongest blow to come on the southern side. The blow fell at 7.30am on the 30th November, and was devastatingly fast and effective. By 9am, the Germans had penetrated almost 3 miles towards Havrincourt Wood. Byng's Third Army faced disaster, with the real prospect of several divisions being cut off in the trap. The first attack fell on the 55th (West Lancashire) and 12th (Eastern) Division on the south-eastern side of the salient. The Germans climbed the slope to re-take Lateau Wood, pushed up the complex of shallow ravines south of Banteux, moved through Villers Guislain and past Gouzeaucourt. Amongst the troops defending the artillery positions at Gouzeaucourt were the 11th United States Engineer Company. The direction of the assault was across British divisional boundaries, and the command structure rapidly broke down as the troops became mixed up.
Three German divisions attacked to the north, supported by an intense Phosgene barrage, intending to cut the Bapaume-Cambrai road near Anneux Chapel. They were repulsed by the machine gun barrage of the 47th (London), 2nd and 56th (London) Divisions, who had relieved the 36th and 40th. No Germans reached the road. Fierce fighting continued in the southern area for Gonnelieu, Les Rues Vertes and Masnieres

30th November 1917 Enemy fairly quiet in the evening.

Pte. Dennis Henry Berry 24th Btn. London Regiment

My Uncle Harry Berry was a furrier at Debenham & Peabody's store in Wigmore Street London when he enlisted in the 24th London Territorial Army on the 10th of June 1914. He embarked for France on the 15th of March 1915 and fought at Battle of Festubert. His regiment fought with great distinction standing firm when the regular army retreated and winning the day. On the 25th of March 1915 he was wounded in his left arm and left leg. He was hospitalized at Rouen nd afterwards given home leave. He returned to active service on the 9th of October 1915 and fought at the Battle of Loos and the second Battle of the Somme. He was blown up and gassed but he survived the war and was Honorably discharged on the 3rd of January 1919.
They Were All Heroes and deserve to be remembered.
