21st March 1918 On this day:  Front Line    The 21st Machine Gun Btn was in Epehy at the time of the Kaiserschlact. My Grandfather (originally in the 62nd Machine Gun company) was captured there on that date German Offensive 1918   16th Btn. Royal Irish Rifles - Pioneers. All the recent work of the Pioneers was to no avail as the decisive enemy attack launched on the 21st March overran the flanks of the 36th Division leaving the continued defence of their positions both untenable and pointless. A disorganised retreat to the old 1916 defensive lines took place over a ten day period. The 36th division retained its cohesion in the retreat which was very difficult over open and exposed areas in full view of the enemy. The recent infantry training which the pioneers had received now came to their assistance as they were attached to the 9th Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers and fought beside them in defensive positions during the retreat. They eventually reached safety and were evacuated to Gamaches on the Normandy coast. The severity of battalion losses are shown by the end of March statistics Battalion strength, March 1918. 1st Mar Officers 43 Other ranks 819 31st Mar Officers 20 Other ranks 449 Showing a loss of 23 officers and 370 other ranks. These figures include a total of 9 officers and 150 men missing at the Jeanne d’Arc Redoubts with, presumably many captured. It is also known that a further 9 officers and 28 men were killed leaving a total of 5 officers and 192 men who fell during the retreat. March Casualties.

The Battalion was divided into two groups during the fighting retreat. Group A under the command of Major WJ Allen. Group B under the command of Captain J maxwell. In 10 days, a total of 240 hours the men in A Group had been involved for at least 112 hours in activities demanding intense physical effort and emotional stress. The figure for B Group was 114 hours. The following is an account of the daily activities during the retreat from 21, 31 March showing how intense the activity was at times. Over 10 days in a total of 240 hrs: Group A 112 hours actively involved. Group B 114 hours actively involved. 16 Bn Royal Irish Rifles(P) in 1918 Retreat - Details as follows: Date Hours Location Function Mar21 3 NW Gd Seracourt Move to RV 1 RV Move St Simon 4 Working there 21/22 1 St Simon Move Ollezy(night) Mar22 1 Ollezy Move to Estouilly 9 Move to Eaucourt Sommette and Work Mar23 12 Eau-Sommette Fighting with 9RIrF 23/24 6 Sommette to Villeselve Fighting withdrawal Mar24 22 Villeselve Fighting 24/25 4 Villeselve via Guiscard Move by night to Bealieu Mar25 5 Beaulieu via Avricourt Move to Warsy Mar26 1 Warsy 9 Erches-Bouchoir Move into trenches Mar27 8 Erches-Bouchoir Fighting in trenches 4 Arvillers A Group position 15 Arvillers B Group position 4 Arvillers, Sourdon Move A Group 28Mar 1 Arvillers Fighting B Group 4 Arvillers, Sourdon Move B Group 10 Coullemelle Move and work A Group Mar29 1 Sourdon, Chaussoy Move B Group Mar30 8 Saleux via Velennes Move A Group 8 Move B Group The Battalion arrived in Gamaches on the Normandy coast by the 31st March and were in a very sorry state after all their constructive efforts followed by the devastating German attack and the hardship endured physically in the subsequent retreat together with the emotional stress of witnessing the loss of so many friends and colleagues. Yet more reverses were to be encountered further testing the resolve of the 16th (Service) Battalion, the Royal Irish Rifles (Pioneers) before the long path to peace in late 1918.
