The Roll of +original members in Part IV. has been gathered together by Lieut. and +Quarter-Master Kelly. The material in the section dealing with the +service of the Battalion overseas has been gathered from the following +sources:—</p> + +<p>For data—the Official War Diaries of the 17th Battalion H.L.I. +preserved in the "Records" Office, Hamilton; supplementary notes +supplied by Lieut.-Cols. Morton and Paul and Major Paterson, D.S.O., +M.C.; Brigade and Battalion Operation Orders; Battalion Operation +Reports.</p> + +<p>For impressions, opinions, and descriptions—numerous and exceedingly +helpful literary vignettes from members of <i>The Outpost</i> staff and +others, and from interviews.</p> + +<p>The Editors desire to record their appreciation of material +contributed and help given by:—Lieut.-Col. Morton, Lieut.-Col. Paul, +Lieut.-Col. Inglis, Major Paterson, the Rev. A. Herbert Gray, C.F., +Capt. G.H.R. Laird, Capt. M. MacRobert, Capt. T.P. Locking, Mr. +Cameron of the Chamber of Commerce, Lieut. and Quarter-Master Kelly, +Mr. Meadows of Saltcoats (for allowing illustrations and excerpts to +be taken from the diary of his son, the late Lieut. B. Meadows), the +relatives of the late Lieut. D.W. Hourston (for a selection of +photographs from his collection), and the following gentlemen +identified with the publication of <i>The Outpost</i>:—Messrs. A.M. Cohen, +W.S.

On the +day following the declaration of war the Territorial Forces of Great +Britain were mobilized, and with a marvellous and inspiring unanimity +their members volunteered for Overseas Service. But even the addition +of these many thousands to our striking force was realised to provide +no more than a relief for the rapidly exhausting strength of the "old +contemptibles," and Lord Kitchener issued his great manifesto calling +the people to the Empire's help, and laid the foundations of a New +Army—Kitchener's Army—the finest and most disinterested body of +soldier patriots that ever stepped in a sound and worthy cause. At +once the patriotism of the country declared itself and the Nation +sprang to arms. The City of Glasgow proved itself second to none among +the cities and districts of the Kingdom in its answer to the call. The +Town Council recruited two fine battalions, the 1st Glasgow, which was +mainly drawn from the Tramway <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span>employees of the city; and the 2nd +Glasgow, which was recruited from former members of the Boys' Brigade. +Other institutions in the city were bestirring themselves in the +national cause, and at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Directors, +held on 3rd September, 1914, it was unanimously resolved, on the +motion of Bailie W.F. Russell, to form a Glasgow Chamber of Commerce +Battalion. Enthusiasm for the scheme was quickly evident, and no time +was lost in getting the matter put upon a practical basis. At the same +meeting of Directors the following gentlemen were appointed as the +Committee in charge:—Messrs. M.M.W. Baird, James W. Murray, F.C. +Gardiner, G.A. Mitchell, H. Moncrieff, W.F. Russell, A.A. Smith, with +Sir Archd. M'Innes Shaw as Convener, and Mr. John W. Arthur as +Vice-Convener, the former making Military matters his chief concern, +the latter caring for Clothing and Equipment. Mr. Montagu M.W. Baird, +the President, and Mr. James W. Murray, the Vice-President, did much +to foster the movement.</p> + +<p>The Chamber of Commerce sustained the loss of Mr. Baird, who died on +October 14, 1915. Mr. J.W. Murray succeeded him as President and +applied that deep interest in all the work and welfare of the +Battalion which marked his services throughout the history of the +unit. Mr. Thomas Cameron, the Secretary of the Chamber, also in +countless ways contributed to its success.</p> + +<p>At this stage the Council of the Royal Glasgow Technical College +approached the Chamber of Commerce Committee, and it was arranged that +students of the College would find special opportunities of forming a +detachment within the Battalion. This arrangement was found acceptable +in every way, and many students entered for the service of their +country under the colours of what was at that early stage known as +"The Chamber of Commerce Battalion, 3rd Glasgow."</p> + +<a name="imagep014" id="imagep014"></a><br /> + +<div class="img" style="width: 42%; float: left; vertical-align: bottom;"> +<a href="images/imagep014a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep014a.jpg" width="75%" alt="The late Mr. Montagu M.W.

By September 12th, 1914, the work of enrolling recruits had +begun, and Medical Examination and Attestation were commenced under +the supervision of Colonel J. Stanley Paterson, Officer in Charge, No. +2 District, Scottish Command. Colonel Paterson did much for the +Battalion in many directions, and in a recent letter says:—"I have +never lost, and never will lose, the deep interest I took in the 17th +H.L.I. from the moment of its initiation, and the full story of its +doings will give me the greatest pleasure to read."</p> + +<p>The Lesser Hall of the Merchants' House was for many days the +Headquarters of busy recruiting, and those associated with these +stirring times will long remember the enthusiasm with which the +enrolment was conducted. With the help of Dr. Beilby and Mr. Stockdale +of the Royal Technical College, "A" Company was speedily recruited, +and was composed mainly of the College Students. Colonel R.C. +Mackenzie, C.B., did much for "B" Company, enlisting in its ranks +former pupils of the City Schools, the High School, Glasgow Academy +and others. "C" and "D" Companies were composed principally of men +from the business houses and different trades in the city and +district. For a few weeks the men, living in their own homes, were +instructed and drilled in four of the Territorial Force Association +Halls. During the recruiting and the early weeks of the training, +Major Rounsfell Brown acted as Adjutant, and rendered excellent +service.</p> + +<p>Kit was issued to the four original Companies, "A," "B," "C," and "D," +on 19th and 20th September.</p> + +<p>It was at first expected that Colonel Fred. J. Smith, late of the 8th +Scottish Rifles, might be chosen as Officer in Command, but for +reasons of health he was unable to undertake the duty. The choice +eventually fell upon Lieut.-Colonel David S. Morton, V.D., who had +seen much service, and was well fitted to fill the post. His volunteer +experience included service in the 1st <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>L.R.V., the Engineers, and +various Commissioned ranks in the 5th H.L.I., ending, on his retiral, +with the rank of Lieut.-Colonel. In 1900 he served with the 71st in +South Africa as Captain of the H.L.I. Service Company. He was +mentioned in despatches, and received the "South Africa" Medal with +three clasps.</p> + +<p>Major W.J. Paul was appointed second in Command. His service had been +with the Scottish Rifles (the 4th V.B.S.R.), in which unit he rose to +the rank of Major, second in Command. He retired in 1907 with the +Honorary rank of Major.</p> + +<p>The original Officers in Command of Companies were:—</p> + +<p class="noin"> +<span style="margin-left: 5%;">"A" Major W.J.

Copland.</p> + +<p>Up to this point the drill and training were being well pushed on. It +will be remembered that the extraordinary demands made on khaki cloth, +by the sudden institution of a national army, made it practically +unobtainable in these early months. A navy blue serge cloth was +substituted for making tunics, trousers and greatcoats, and these made +a neat and serviceable uniform. This uniform was issued at Gailes and +was exchanged for khaki in the following summer at Troon. The +Battalion was now ready to set out for its war training station, and +on 23rd September assembled in the Examination Hall of the Royal +Technical College, and had a good send-off by the Directors and +Members of the Chamber of Commerce, Colonel Stanley Paterson, and +other friends. At this meeting, Colours for the Regiment were promised +by Mr. Montagu M.W. Baird, the President of the Chamber; Bugles, by +Dr. and Mrs. Beilby, of the Technical College; and Pipes and Drums as +a joint gift by the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and +Merchants' House.

What was to become famous as +the 71st was raised in 1777 by Lord John MacLeod and was known as +"MacLeod's Highlanders." It was a kilted regiment and wore the +Mackenzie tartan. It was originally numbered the 73rd, and under this +designation won early distinctions in India in the campaigns against +Hyder Ali and Tippoo Sahib. Nine years after its inauguration it +became the 71st, and after service in Ceylon and at the Cape it +received in 1808 the title of "The Glasgow Regiment." Shortly after +this the 71st entered once more the fields of war in the Peninsula +campaign under Wellington, and shared in many actions including the +storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, the siege of Badajoz and at Vittoria. Then +came their crowning gallantry at Waterloo against the flower of +Napoleon's armies. In later years the Crimea, Canada and the Bermudas +were added to their war honours.</p> + +<p>The 74th was raised at Glasgow by Major-General Sir Archibald Campbell +with a view to service in India. The 74th also wore the kilt, but of +Black Watch tartan. Their record runs much on the same lines as that +of the 71st, and quickly they are also found performing deeds of +stubborn gallantry in India in the Mysore Territory. When the hour of +Tippoo Sahib had come, the 74th was the first to enter the tyrant's +last stronghold, but it was later, at the battle of Assaye that they +earned a fame which finds its echo to-day in the old badge of the +Elephant, which that action entitles them to wear. For long afterwards +the unit possessed the proud by-name of "The Assaye Regiment." After +sharing with the 71st in the rigours of the Peninsula, Canada and the +West Indies, the 74th <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span>saw service in the Kaffir War, Madras, and in +Egypt, including Tel-el-Kebir, where they were in the fiercest of the +fight.</p> + +<p>It was in 1809, as a reward for their services, that they were formed +into Light Infantry, and were permitted to retain such parts of the +national dress as were not inconsistent with the duties of Light +Infantry. They then discarded the kilt and adopted the tartan trews +which still appear in the full dress uniform of the Regiment. The kilt +is now worn by two Territorial Battalions, the 6th and the 9th.</p> + +<p>Subsequently the two Regiments were formed into one Regiment of two +Battalions.</p> + +<p>The "H.L.I.," as all the world calls it, was of course present during +the South African War. They fought at Modder River, and though they +suffered severely at Magersfontein, continued to share in the +hardships of the remainder of the campaign.</p> + +<p>At the outbreak of the Great War there were in addition to the 1st and +2nd Battalions, two Special Reserve Battalions (the 3rd and 4th) and +five Territorial Battalions, numbered the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th.</p> + +<p>After declaration of war, the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, +16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Service Battalions were raised, +together with the 21st (Territorial) and 1st (Garrison) Battalions. In +addition, the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Battalions each had second +and third lines, and at one time there were as many as thirty +Battalions in existence. These were more or less connected with the +City of Glasgow and district, and serve as an indication of the +patriotism and loyalty of the community.</p> + +<p>On 14th December, 1914, the War Office issued an order that the +Chamber of Commerce Battalion was to form a unit of the New Army, and +was to be designated the 17th (Service) Battalion Highland Light +Infantry, of the 117th Infantry Brigade, of the 39th Division. This +intimation was received when the Battalion was stationed at Troon, and +was hailed with great enthusiasm by all ranks.</p> + +<p>Their comradeship in the common cause, their keenness for practical +service and the <i>esprit de corps</i> engendered by their attachment to +the illustrious Highland Light Infantry, knit all ranks together in +enthusiasm and determination.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep020a" id="imagep020a"></a> +<a href="images/imagep020a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep020a.jpg" width="90%" alt="On the Sea Front at Troon." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">On the Sea Front at Troon.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep020b" id="imagep020b"></a> +<a href="images/imagep020b.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep020b.jpg" width="50%" alt="Lt.-Col.

As this +Company eventually became the nucleus of a further Battalion with a +parallel history of its own, it will be treated separately in another +chapter. (<a href="#Page_89">Page 89</a>.)</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="HOME_STATIONS_AND_TRAINING" id="HOME_STATIONS_AND_TRAINING"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>HOME STATIONS AND TRAINING.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>The Battalion arrived at Gailes on 23rd September, 1914, and this +event might be called the beginning of the Great Adventure. The war +seemed miles nearer as the light-hearted and high-spirited lads +stepped out of the train and viewed the rows of glistening white +tents. The large array of kit bags was in many instances supplemented +by suit cases, filled with surplus personal effects thought necessary +for creature comforts. The novelty of the surroundings, and twelve men +in a tent, including numerous belongings, did not conduce to sleep; +and the next morning reveillé found all but the old soldier already +astir. The weeks at Gailes were spent in organising, and the efforts +of all ranks to become efficient were worthy of that spirit which +lasted throughout the existence of the Battalion.</p> + +<p>The issue of something in the nature of a uniform and a few Drill +Pattern rifles raised hopes that the training was being hurried on. On +the 13th October, a move was made to Troon, where the good citizens +afforded luxurious billets to the Battalion.</p> + +<p>In spite of the vigorous training that was enforced during the next +few months, and which stood the men in such good stead later on, the +social side was not neglected and helped to cement a great feeling of +good fellowship and understanding between the officers and men. It was +with mutual regret that the Seventeenth took its departure from Troon +on 13th May, 1915, and the memory of the stay in the Ayrshire town +will always remain as one of the most pleasant memories in the history +of the Battalion.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[22]</a></span>There is something very remarkable about the record of the 17th H.L.I. +when billeted in Troon. For though brain-weary subalterns spent hours +trying to balance their billeting monies to the satisfaction of +exasperated and exacting Company Commanders, there was very little +trouble in the Orderly Room, that pulse of trouble.</p> + +<p>Here are some noteworthy facts:—</p> + +<div class="block"><p class="hang">I.—The Guard Room was always empty.</p> + +<p class="hang">II.—There were practically no men "crimed" for lateness on +parade.</p> + +<p class="hang">III.—There were practically no "crimes" for being out of +"billets."</p> + +<p class="hang">IV.—There were no complaints of rowdyism in billets.</p> + +<p class="hang">V.—There were no charges of drunkenness.</p> + +<p class="hang">VI.—There were only very few charges of pass breaking.</p> + +<p class="hang">VII.—There were very few claims for damage, and these on +examination were more vindictive than real.</p> + +<p class="hang">VIII.—It was not necessary to serve any billeting notices.</p></div> + +<p>These are a few of the significant facts that mount up to bring honour +to the rank and file of the 17th H.L.I.</p> + +<p>The three troop-trains carrying the Battalion arrived at Whitchurch, +Shropshire, on the morning of the 14th May, and the men marched some +three miles south to the great hut-city on Prees Heath. This was the +first War Station of the Brigade, where the 15th, 16th and 17th H.L.I. +joined the 11th (S.) Battalion Border Regiment (The Lonsdales). There +the men found hut life very comfortable. The cleaning and tidying of +their new abodes kept them busy, and was carried out with the cheery +zest and whole-hearted enthusiasm so characteristic of the +Seventeenth. Full advantage was taken of the adjacent Y.M.C.A. +establishment, which proved an admirable Institution. The Concert +Hall, Refreshment Tables, Reading and Billiard Rooms, were well +patronised at all off-duty hours, and the men appreciated the cheerful +kindness of the attendants, who were voluntary lady workers from the +County houses.</p> + +<p>Extended manœuvres were impracticable in this well-fenced +agricultural area, so the training embraced much route-marching, and +barrack-square work, musketry, signalling, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[23]</a></span>visual training, etc. +There were several trying marches in the scorching May-June weather, +to Clive's native district, Moreton-Say and Market Drayton, to Wem and +Hodnet, and to the beautiful scenery of Hawkstone Park, and Iscoyd +Hall. Football, cricket, hockey, golf and cross-country running +provided healthy recreation, while excursions to old-world "Sleepy +Chester," to Shrewsbury and into Wales were popular week-ends.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep022a" id="imagep022a"></a> +<a href="images/imagep022a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep022a.jpg" width="90%" alt="A Peaceful Bivouac—Salisbury Plain." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">A Peaceful Bivouac—Salisbury Plain.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep022b" id="imagep022b"></a> +<a href="images/imagep022b.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep022b.jpg" width="90%" alt="Recruiting March at Grand Parade, Bath." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">Recruiting March at Grand Parade, Bath.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +<p class="right"><i>To face page 22.</i></p> +</div> + +<p>In the third week of June, 1915, the 17th H.L.I. changed quarters from +the flat stifling district of Prees-Heath to the breezy upland valley +of Wensleydale, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. There is hardly a +level acre in the district, but this was a welcome change. Many an +enjoyable journey was made, in the intervals of Brigade Training, +northward to lonely Swaledale, south to Coverdale, across the Valley +of the Yore, to the prominent peak of Penhill, or to the beautiful +Aysgarth Falls.</p> + +<p>The Infantry Brigade, the 97th, had the 95th and the South Irish Horse +as comrades for the training round Leyburn and Middleham, and Bellerby +Moors; and some pleasant friendships were formed with the Warwickshire +and Gloucestershire lads, and with the "foine foightin' bhoys" from +Cork and Tipperary.</p> + +<p>On the 27th of July tents were shifted to Totley Rifle Ranges in +Derbyshire, where the preliminary Musketry Course was fired by the +Battalion during the next fortnight, with most creditable results. The +men made themselves great favourites in Totley and Dore, and at +Sheffield, where they received a very hospitable welcome at all times, +and especially on the occasion of a memorable route march through that +city on 9th August. The Battalion was given an enthusiastic send-off +at Dore and Beauchief Stations on 10th August, when entraining for +Salisbury Plain, the scene of their next training ground.</p> + +<p>When the Seventeenth steamed into the station at Codford St. Mary, on +11th August, and saw the occasional houses peeping through the tall +trees, it was the thought that, after the bustle and stir of Totley, +they had indeed become soldiers in earnest. The Camp Warden +strengthened this belief with his assurance that no unit stayed longer +than six weeks in the Camp, and after that,—Southampton and France, +for the testing and <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[24]</a></span>proof of all that had been learnt so eagerly. As +it turned out, three months were spent at Codford—months of rigorous +training, of long interesting divisional manœuvres, and general +hardening. The men learned to dig trenches quickly and well, for they +had to spend nights in them; to march many miles without complaint, +and fight at the end of the hardest day's march; to use Lewis guns, +not as amateurs with a strange toy, but as men whose lives depended on +their speed and ability. The mysteries of transport, and the value of +a timetable were revealed.</p> + +<p>Needless to say these days of field exercises were not lacking in some +amusing incidents which seem to dog the footsteps of peace conditions +manœuvres and which act as very welcome episodes amid the hard work +that such training involves. Towards the close of one of the +periodical manœuvres carried out by the Seventeenth under the +critical eye of an Inspecting General a bugle had sounded and the +manœuvres ceased. Officers grouped together and men lay on their +backs and talked. The General turned to one of the Battalion officers +who were now beginning to assemble round him, and said, "What was that +call?" He often did such things as this to test knowledge of detail. +"The Stand Fast," said the officer to whom the question was addressed. +"Oh! come! come!" said the General, "Now, what was it?" he further +questioned a Company Commander. No reply came. Then he turned to the +Second in Command, "Now, Major, what was it? Tell him." "The Stand +Fast, sir," said the Major. "Really," said the General, "you gentlemen +must learn the elementary things in soldiering. Bugler, tell these +gentlemen what that call was." "The Stand Fast, sir," replied the +bugler. The General hurried on with the conference!</p> + +<p>At Codford the Battalion had its first taste of army biscuit and +bully-beef. From Monday to Thursday manœuvres were held; on Friday, +"clean up," and on Saturday, after the Colonel's inspection, the +luckier ones went to Bath and Bristol for the day, or to London or +Bournemouth for the week-end. Friday was pay day—"Seven Shillings me +lucky lad," and after pay-out, the reading of the Army Act or a +Lecture on bayonet-fighting or tactics. Games flourished. The +Battalion football team played and defeated Bath City, and met the +other <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[25]</a></span>Battalions of the Division at Rugby Football, and invariably +won.

A +memorable feature of this parade was the head-gear, Balmoral bonnets +of the war service pattern being worn for the first time. Next morning +the Battalion left Codford in three parties for Southampton, and +without any delay embarked on two transports for Havre, the remainder +of the Division going <i>via</i> Boulogne. It was a perfect crossing, no +wind, bright moonlight, with everyone in the best of spirits.</p> + +<p>At 7 a.m. on the 23rd, the troops disembarked at the port of Havre and +marched off at once to the Rest Camp, three miles away, great interest +being displayed in the few German prisoners working on the docks. On +arrival the Battalion found it was under canvas, no floor boards and +plenty of mud—a first taste of real discomfort. Moreover the day was +raw, with a suspicion of snow, and no one was sorry when it was +announced that the Camp was being left first thing in the morning. +That evening a few of the Officers visited the town itself, and others +went out on a first reconnaissance to discover the route to the +station, and the Ration Depot.</p> + +<p>The next day, after drawing two days' rations as well as "Iron +Rations," the Battalion left for the "Front,"—"A," "B," and "C" +Companies going off at 1.15 p.m., and "D" Company following a few +hours later.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep026" id="imagep026"></a> +<a href="images/imagep026.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep026.jpg" width="100%" alt="Chamber of Commerce Battalion, Troon, April, 1915." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">Chamber of Commerce Battalion, Troon, April, 1915.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="ON_TREK" id="ON_TREK"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[27]</a></span><br /> + +<h2>II.—ACTIVE SERVICE.</h2> +<br /> + +<h3>ON TREK.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Arrival at Havre—March to the forward area—Bouzincourt and +Millencourt—instructional tour of front line +trenches—condition of trenches—first casualties—Molliens.</i></p></div> + +<br /> + +<p>The Battalion arrived at the Port of Le Havre, disembarked in high +spirits, and in the morning of 23rd November, 1915, part of the troops +left the docks for a three mile trek to a rest camp; but soon the +Battalion set out on its first journey "up the line" in cattle trucks. +Travelling through the night of the 24th, via Rouen and Amiens, the +unit reached Pont Remy, some twelve miles east of Abbeville, in the +early hours of the following day, and soon had commenced their first +route march into the battle-ways of France, and, incidentally, at the +first resting place, Mouflers, made cheerily light of what was their +first experience of faulty billeting arrangements. One billet, for 150 +men, at the Folie Auberge was uninhabitable, and the appearance of the +billets in general was greeted with good-natured growls of amazement +and disgust. The weather, however, was mild and sunny, and after about +eight hours' work all the troops were more or less under cover. When +every incident was an experience novel and suggestive, such minor +discomforts did not trouble anyone seriously; but considered in +retrospect it must be admitted that these, their first billets, were +very poor for a village so far behind the line. If it was an +unpromising beginning for the companies, it <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[28]</a></span>proved a delusion and a +snare for headquarters, for they scored on this occasion in having at +the Chateau the most comfortable billets they ever were fated to +enjoy.</p> + +<p>The next day was spent in resting, and on the 27th the march was +continued along the magnificent Amiens Road, through Felixcourt and +Belloy-sur-Somme to La Chaussee. This was a day of keen frost and +bright sunshine, and headed by the band, the 17th stepped out through +the various villages in the best of spirits. Following the same column +was the 17th Northumberland Fusiliers and two A.S.C. Companies. That +night the billets were good, everyone felt somehow in holiday mood, +helped perhaps by the successful bargaining for eggs, chickens and +wine, for to make purchases at all was even at that early date a +matter for rejoicing. The pipers delighted with their playing the +heart of Madame la Comptesse at her chateau at Turancourt where +Brigade headquarters were stationed.</p> + +<p>On the 28th, a bitterly cold day, the Battalion marched eleven miles +via Coisy and Ranneville to Molliens-au-Bois, and there they stayed +until the morning of December 1st, when they were joined by M. +Duchamps, interpreter. Molliens-au-Bois lies about eight miles north +of Amiens, but the outstanding feature was that, from the high ground +above there was got the first glimpse of the illuminations provided +nightly by the Bosche, all along the battle front.</p> + +<p>On 1st December they left at 8.15 a.m., in company with the 16th +H.L.I., and on the way a Company of the 17th Northumberland Fusiliers +joined the column, which now was moving into the front area.</p> + +<p>During the afternoon of that day, the Officers and N.C.O.s of "A" and +"B" Companies went from Bouzincourt into the front line trenches, just +north of Albert, and were attached for instruction to the 7th Gordons +and the 7th Black Watch of the 51st Division, and on the following day +these two Companies joined their Officers in the front line for one +night. The trenches were in a very bad condition after hard frost and +heavy rain. Parts of the trenches were collapsing under the severe +conditions and cases were reported from neighbouring units of men +being drowned in the mud and water.</p> + +<p>On the 3rd and 4th December "C" and "D" Companies from Millencourt +went through a similar programme. On the 6th <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span>the front line only of +Sectors F1 and F2 were taken over, and then on the 8th the whole +Battalion took over Sector F1—some 2,000 yards of system from just +north of La Boisselle towards Authuille (Blighty) Wood. The front line +and communication trenches were knee deep in water and the trench +shelters were poor.

During the relief the enemy shelled the position heavily, +and the Battalion was fortunate in escaping with only one casualty, +Pte. R. M'Kelvie of "B" Company. The next day the Battalion marched +back to Molliens-au-Bois, via Senlis and Beaucourt, to recuperate +after their opening experience of active trench warfare conditions. +The mud and water and the delapidated condition of the trenches were +indeed an eye-opener to the men, as much as the comparative absence of +"enemy activity."

The outstanding +features of this period were the digging and then the taking over of +the new trenches across the big re-entrant on their right on 2nd +February, and the enemy raid on the 2nd K.O.Y.L.I., on their left on +9th February.</p> + +<p>It will be noted that this spell of trench warfare activities brackets +in both Christmas and New Year—both of which were accordingly spent +in the front line trenches. As far as possible Christmas fare was +provided in the line, and strict orders were issued that if the enemy +made any friendly offers they were to be rejected strenuously. The +only exchange of greetings notified for Christmas and New Year in the +Official War Diary of the Battalion is a brief record of shelling and +machine gunning. But during this period the Battalion had nevertheless +very few casualties—only seven killed, including two died of wounds. +The first casualty was Corporal Houston of No. 16 Platoon, who was +killed at Lower Donnet on 3rd January.</p> + +<p>Except for patrol work, the piece of work carried out on 2nd February, +1916, in connection with the new trenches was the first military +operation carried out by the 17th when in close touch with the enemy, +and it was confined to "B" Company and a Platoon of "A" Company, who +acted as covering party.</p> + +<p>For some time the Battalion had been exercised in night manœuvres, +and on 1st February they had a full-dress rehearsal of the impending +operation, which, on Tuesday, 2nd February, came off sooner than had +been anticipated. The scheme was to form a new line of trenches, +protected by wire, nearer the German line, some 300 yards in front of +the existing one, the length dug being about 600 yards, with +communication trenches in addition.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[31]</a></span>At 6 p.m., in pitch darkness, "B" Company filed out into "no man's +land." Instructions were, "No firing, bayonet only if necessary." +There were Hun flares and machine guns, but no search-light. Had the +enemy but used the light, all might have been spoiled. Their lives +depended on no Hun reaching their line, or getting back with +information. They went straight out the 600 yards without a hitch. +That fixed their right flank, where Major J.R. Young was in command. +Captain Russell led his half Company 500 yards straight across the +front, with two scouts on either side, checking. At every five yards a +man dropped and was placed, facing his proper front. They moved +slowly, snail pace, but only three times in the 500 yards had the line +to drop flat, until the last man was placed. The next thing was to get +in touch with "A" Company, who were putting out the platoon to guard +"B" Company's left flank. Rather jumpy work, this joining hands in +pitch darkness. It was a long, silent night. At 9.30 the tinkling +sound of the wire being fixed was heard, and they knew from this that +the digging had commenced—some 800 men, good and true, working +silently as they had never worked before.</p> + +<p>When 1.30 a.m. came their time was up. The right half Company, under +Major Young, rose silently, and crept off to a place in the wire where +a gap had been arranged for the men to pass through. Captain Russell +with the left half Company followed. The wiring and digging went on +till 3 a.m., protected by patrols sent out in front of the wire. A new +trench, with communication trenches, had been laid 300 yards out from +their old line, protected by treble staked wire, on a frontage of 600 +yards. The new trench was held till dawn before handing over. There +was no hitch, and not a man wounded. The Battalion would have given +much to see the Huns' faces when they looked across and found that +long line of serpentine earth and wire shoved out under their noses. +There would probably be some court-martialling of their patrols. +Everything worked in absolute harmony, and with perfect success, and +all got back safe to tell the tale. The Hun discovered what had been +done only the following morning when all was over.</p> + +<p>The lack of the more strenuous forms of active service excitement +during the digging of this trench was more than <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[32]</a></span>made up for in the +week following—when it was manned nightly in full strength, in spite +of severe bombardment by the enemy.</p> + +<p>After the successful and useful piece of work in advancing the line +just described, the Battalion settled down to a period of normal +trench warfare and intensive training, but managed to slip in a game +of Rugger and an Association game or two. Intermittent spells of +artillery and trench mortar and gas shell bombardments of varying +severity disturbed the sector, but despite this the unit not only +immediately repaired any damage done, but considerably extended and +improved the system.</p> + +<p>On the 9th of February the shelling became very heavy, culminating +towards evening in an intense bombardment on the sector lying to the +left of F1. At the same time an attempt was made to neutralise the +fire of the British batteries on the Ancre by gas shells. Intense +excitement prevailed in the Battalion, which was billeted in Aveluy, +in Brigade support, when it was called on to "stand to" and man the +bridge-head defences. Meantime the Hun carried out a raid on a part of +the line known as the Nab, which was occupied by the 2nd K.O.Y.L.I. +This point was occupied for half-an-hour or so by the enemy, who +picked up about eleven K.O.Y.L.I. prisoners and then retired. The +K.O.Y.L.I. suffered some sixty casualties in killed, wounded and +missing, so "B" Company and part of "C" of the 17th were rushed up +into the raided sector to reinforce the battered garrison, and stayed +there till morning.</p> + +<p>Again the conditions stereotyped themselves into that nerve racking +ordeal known to the civilian public as "nothing to report"—the type +of warfare recognised by all who have any experience of modern active +service life as calling for all that is highest in regimental +efficiency and discipline, and individual initiative and grit. The +weather, taking it all over, was wet and stormy, causing endless work +in repairing the line and pumping the trenches clear of water. But the +bright star in this bloody, muddy firmament was the commencement of +leave, which opened about the 14th February. Even if your name was +well down the list, or not yet even on it at all, a new species of +keen counter-attraction was provided to the demands of war.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_RAID" id="THE_RAID"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[33]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>THE RAID.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>The "Red" Division—in the line at Authuille—Colonel Morton +wounded on March 21st—a raid postponed—carried out on +22nd—success of Lieut.

The 15th Lancashire Fusiliers took over the +Battalion Sector, and the 17th went into billets at Millencourt. Many +fatigues were carried out round about Albert, the principal work being +the laying of cables and the improving of roads. On the 24th, quarters +were changed to Henencourt and from billets into huts in the +wood—most unpleasant, firstly on account of snow and frost, and then, +following a thaw, on account of knee-deep mud. But a further change on +the 29th to Dernancourt brought back billets good and comfortable.</p> + +<p>The attack on Verdun had upset the plans which had been made to give +the Brigade the rest which it had been anticipating, and this last +move to Dernancourt brought them into the line once more, just south +of Albert.</p> + +<p>The 32nd Division, by now, with good cause, had been named by the +Germans as the "Red" Division because the Hun was given no rest by the +Divisional Artillery and constant raids, and on account of the red +distinguishing marks worn by all ranks of the Division on their tunic +sleeves. The 32nd took over from the 18th Division, and on the 1st of +March, 1916, the Brigade was in Divisional Reserve. On the 3rd of +March, the 97th Brigade relieved the 14th Brigade, the 11th Border +Regiment and 2nd K.O.Y.L.I. taking over. On March 10th the 17th H.L.I. +relieved the 11th Border Regiment, and so once more they were in +immediate face of the enemy. This sector was in front of Becourt +Chateau, between Fricourt and La Boiselle.</p> + +<p>A considerable amount of wiring was done, but life here was +comparatively pleasant and the return of spring much <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[34]</a></span>appreciated. +But, unfortunately, on the 21st of March, Col. Morton was wounded at +Albert, Major Paul taking over command of the Battalion.</p> + +<p>Working parties were heavy, and on one occasion the Bosche blew a +camouflet while work was in progress. During this period great +preparations were made for a raid, and there was keen competition for +a place in the selected party. The night selected for the raid, 2nd +April, however, was unfortunately bright, and this combined with the +fact that the enemy, by means of listening apparatus, seemed fully +aware of what was on, led to a postponement when actually in "no man's +land." The hazardous work of laying the guide tape preparatory to the +abandoned raid was carried out by 2nd Lieut. H. MacRobert and Corpl. +J. Chapman.</p> + +<p>This Sector was left on the 4th of April, and the Battalion, being +relieved by the 2nd Scottish Rifles, of the 23rd Brigade, 8th +Division, moved to Bouzincourt and went into huts vacated by the 2nd +Inniskillens.</p> + +<p>After a week's rest at Bouzincourt the Battalion returned to the line +at Authuille, on 12th April, 1916, the 97th Brigade holding the line +between that village and north to Thiepval, with the two other +Brigades behind, in support and in reserve. Alternately in the line, +in support, and in reserve, the 17th remained in this Sector until the +opening of the Somme Battle on 1st July, 1916. But the period was not +without stirring incident. By the 15th of April final arrangements +were being made to carry out what was to prove a highly successful +raid on the enemy, which operation was accomplished on 22nd April.</p> + +<p>"23rd April, 1916,—Last night we made a successful raid against the +enemy's trenches, south-west of Thiepval. Thirteen prisoners were +captured, and in addition, a number of casualties were caused to the +enemy by our men bombing their dug-outs. Our casualties were very +slight."</p> + +<p>This bald official statement of the 17th H.L.I.'s first raid is to the +lay mind singularly unimpressive, but behind it there is an interest +and a measure of glory of which the 17th is happy to be proud. Let it +be remembered that it was their first "stunt," their first real hand +to hand brush with the enemy, and that to the 17th fell the honour of +getting the first "jab in" for the 32nd Division.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep034a" id="imagep034a"></a> +<a href="images/imagep034a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep034a.jpg" width="90%" alt="The Cathedral, Albert—Before the War." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">The Cathedral, Albert—Before the War.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep034b" id="imagep034b"></a> +<a href="images/imagep034b.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep034b.jpg" width="90%" alt="The Cathedral, Albert—After Bombardment." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">The Cathedral, Albert—After Bombardment.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +<p class="right"><i>To face page 34.</i></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep035" id="imagep035"></a> +<a href="images/imagep035.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep035.jpg" width="55%" alt="Lt.-Col.

A.J. Begg, and Lieut. J.N. +Carpenter. This party went down to Dernancourt, behind Albert, to +complete the training for the raid, and the intention was to rush the +enemy on the night of 2nd April. That night, however, as already +explained, proved unfavourable on account of a bright moon, and the +party, after crawling stealthily towards the enemy's wire were +observed near his trenches and were forced to withdraw. Training was +resumed at Bouzincourt, and it was decided then to have the assistance +of a preliminary artillery bombardment. A point in the enemy's salient +south-west of Thiepval was selected, the wire there was cut in advance +by the artillery, and close observation was maintained on the spot +from day to day. Meanwhile the enemy's fortifications were duplicated +on the ground behind Bouzincourt, and there, night after night, the +raiding party practised the assault. The most careful preparations +were entailed, with much planning and understanding of detail. Every +man had to know thoroughly his part. There had to be no hitch +anywhere. Lieut. Begg saw to it that the training was complete, and +given any luck, success was fully assured.</p> + +<p>On the night of the 22nd of April, the party, with blackened hands and +faces, and equipped with an assortment of weapons worthy of Mexican +outlaws, presented themselves at the head of Thiepval Avenue, and +filed up to the "starting point" to await the report of the Patrol +under Lieut. MacRobert, who also had charge of the tape-laying party +which included Corporal Chapman. At 9.30 p.m. our artillery suddenly +opened on the enemy's salient, and poured down on it such a tornado of +steel as the Germans had never experienced before. For twenty minutes +our shells flayed the German front line, and under this arch of +shrieking explosives the battle party crawled right up to the rim of +the bombardment. What wire remained uncut was blown to fragments by a +torpedo, and when the barrage lifted and came down behind, the raiders +jumped into the enemy's trench and set to work. For twenty minutes +they bombed and destroyed, cleared dug-outs, pulled down machine guns, +barricaded communication trenches, and handed prisoners back to +escorts. Then on a signal they as quickly <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[36]</a></span>withdrew, and still under +cover of artillery fire made their own trench again. Thirteen +affrighted Germans, of two different units, accompanied the party; +and, finest of all, every man of the party returned. Eleven of them +were wounded, but only one seriously.

The Divisional colours were crimson and the sleeve +mark was a red circle for the 97th Brigade. The K.O.Y.L.I. had one bar +below the circle; the Border Regiment, two; the 16th H.L.I., three; +and the 17th, four bars, worn horizontally and parallel. Runners, +bombers, etc., had further identification marks. Prior to this, from +November 1915, to April, 1916, no distinctive mark had been worn on +the sleeve, but on the centre of the tunic collar at the back there +was worn a strip of ribbon coloured yellow, pale blue, and yellow. +During the succeeding period, up to the disbandment of the Battalion, +the sleeve marks were used only. While the circle was always red the +bars were coloured respectively black for Headquarters; red for "A" +Company; green for "B"; yellow for "C"; and blue for "D" Company. The +Divisional sign on flags and limbers, etc., was a red coloured +intertwined double 8.</p> + +<p>The weather was now very fine, and when not in the line, delightful +days were spent at Rubempré, Contay and Warloy, and strenuous days on +Divisional exercises at Baizieux in preparation for the Somme. From +this it will be seen that the Battalion was not engaged in killing +Germans all the time, or <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[38]</a></span>being killed by them. At times they had a +change. There were periods of rest. The word "rest" is very often the +subject of sarcastic humour amongst troops. "Resting" may mean +anything. It may be quite a good time or it may be worse than the +firing line. Too often it is simply an occasion of smartening +up—guards, ceremonial parades, saluting, and "spit and polish" +generally—in fact the things that can be indulged in to excess. And +very often a rest simply means preparation for a big stunt. But the +17th will remember occasions when they did have a real rest. This was +particularly the case at Rubempré. The weather was good, and they had +a comparatively easy time. They had about three hours' training in the +forenoons. Thereafter they were free. There were sports and games in +the afternoons for the enthusiasts. There were entirely successful +concerts and sing-songs in the evenings. It was a change to see and be +among civilians—to be welcome in the village houses—and generally to +experience peace time conditions again. This may not seem to amount to +very much, but it meant a lot then. And it certainly had a fine effect +on the morale of the Battalion. It was a sheer relief to be out of +sound of the guns, to forget the mud, the exhaustion, mental and +physical, the weary night watches, standing to, and working parties.</p> + +<p>But such days passed quickly, and all too soon they found themselves +on the road again, loaded up, silent, thoughtful, on the way back to +the firing line.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_BATTLE_OF_THE_SOMME" id="THE_BATTLE_OF_THE_SOMME"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_39" id="Page_39">[39]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Spirit of the Battalion prior to the battle—zero and "over +the top"—Leipzig Trench carried—flanks exposed—precarious +position of the unit—great casualties—protective bombing +posts—consolidation—Battalion relieved—Victoria Cross +gained by Sergeant Turnbull—Roll Call.</i></p></div> + +<br /> + +<p>Signs of the coming conflict were everywhere. The tremendous +accumulation of men and material had been going on unceasingly for +weeks, and during the long June days clouds of dust hung in the hot, +still air above the roads. For the roads all led towards the line, and +the tramp of men, and the rumble of wheels were unending. The +Battalion had long ago recovered from a hard and monotonous winter of +trench warfare. To each man there remained the joy of remembering days +and nights that were unpleasant—for it is a joy to remember, in the +comfort and happiness of to-day, the discomforts and sorrows of +yesterday. Now the sun was shining. Training was going on apace under +the pleasantest of conditions. They were a healthy family. Each man +felt his potentiality, and unconsciously boasted it in his every +action. Such was the feeling in the Battalion when the certainty of +conflict came. To everyone it was the "Big Push"—the mighty +Armageddon—of which all had thought and spoken during the winter of +waiting. There was no doubt as to the issue. Each man went about his +duties with an eye to an immediate and definite future. If anything he +gave greater care to his rifle. In his feeling the edge and point of +his bayonet, there was something of a caress. Now was the look in each +eye born of the lust of killing. It was the knowledge that on a bright +morning—now only a few hours distant—man would be matched against +man. "Justice of our cause may have been somewhere in our +sub-consciousness. Certainly it was not uppermost. To each man the +coming conflict savoured of individual mortal combat. The days of +waiting were gone. He was going forward to prove his manhood"—so +write two veterans of that fight.</p> + +<p>The story of that morning is an epic. For every man it was the first +experience of "over the top." In sun-baked trenches <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[40]</a></span>everyone longed +for the zero hour, while the guns rolled and shells crashed with +ever-increasing intensity. Nothing was real. Men stood and waited as +if in a dream. They felt as if they were listening to the overture; +that soon the curtain would rise. Even when the guns ceased their roar +for a few moments towards the end, and in the death-like stillness was +heard the warbling of birds in "no man's land"—the grim reality of it +all was felt. With the lifting mist of the morning, the curtain +rose....</p> + +<p>At 7.23 a.m. the Battalion started moving across "no man's land." When +the barrage lifted the men entered the enemy front line and the work +of the moppers-up soon began. The advance across the open was +splendidly carried out, all ranks behaving magnificently, as was the +case throughout the entire action. Leipzig Trench was taken and the +leading lines advanced against the Hindenburg Trench. These were mown +down and by 8.15 a.m. every Company Officer was a casualty. It now +became obvious to Colonel Morton that Leipzig Trench must be held, as +without reinforcements, no further advance could be made, both flanks +being exposed, as the 8th Division on their right had been driven +back. The left was particularly exposed and parties under Sergt. +Macgregor and Sergt. Watt were organised and sent to strengthen the +left where "B" and "D" Companies had been almost annihilated. It was +now 9 o'clock and the Battalion casualties now amounted to 22 officers +and 400 other ranks. The bombers, who had been sent up to replace +casualties, were holding the flanks successfully. By 11.15 the entire +line was very weak, and still at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the +situation was unchanged, 2nd Lieut. Morrison and 2nd Lieut. Marr +working and organising the protective flank bombers without the least +regard for personal safety. At 4 o'clock the 2nd Manchesters +reinforced them with two Companies. Just at this time the line wavered +a little in face of the overwhelming bombardment and the appalling +casualties, but control was immediately gained. At 5 the shattered +unit was ordered to consolidate the ground taken. This was done and +two strong enemy counter attacks repulsed. At 9.30 the Battalion +started to be relieved by the Manchesters, but the relief was not +wholly carried out until near midnight, although several bombing +parties had to <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[41]</a></span>carry on till well towards mid-day of the following +day before being relieved. The 17th concentrated on Campbell Post and +held the line in that Sector. In the evening of the next day the +Battalion was relieved and returned to dug-outs at Crucifix Corner.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep040" id="imagep040"></a> +<a href="images/imagep040.png"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep040thumb.png" width="95%" alt="MAP ILLUSTRATING THE OPERATIONS OF 1st JULY, 1916." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen" style="margin-top: .2em;">MAP ILLUSTRATING THE OPERATIONS OF 1st JULY, 1916.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +<p class="noin">Objective of Attack—Mouquet Farm.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writing +of the battle of the Somme in his history of the war, emphasises what +this unadorned record of the day's fighting bears out—that there had +been no flinching anywhere, and the military virtue shown had been of +the highest possible quality; but the losses from the machine guns and +from the barrage was so heavy that they deprived the attack of the +weight and momentum necessary to win their way through the enemy's +position. "In the desperate circumstances," he says, "it might well be +considered a remarkable result that a stretch of the Leipzig Redoubt +should be won and permanently held by the Highlanders, especially by +the 17th Highland Light Infantry."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[42]</a></span>Throughout these terrible operations Colonel Morton was present in the +most advanced positions encouraging and cheering the men by his +personal example and utter disregard for danger.

The foregoing +chapter gives a general idea of the intensity of the great battle from +the impersonal and official viewpoint, with data checked and balanced. +But the following account introduces the personal and human element +with poignant effect. Some of the very minor facts are a little +inaccurate, but that is inevitable when an individual soldier +describes a general action from his own viewpoint. Nevertheless the +editors consider that in no other Battalion source is there such a +vivid record of experiences to be got which reflect <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[43]</a></span>the feelings of +all those who took part in the action concerned.</p> + +<p>"The last four days before zero," he writes, "were known as 'W,' 'X,' +'Y,' and 'Z' days. By 'W' every enemy observation balloon had been +destroyed and so dense a fleet of aircraft patrolled the battle area +as to make it impossible for the enemy aircraft to approach the lines. +Thus the enemy was made blind. On the night of 'W' we got orders to +move forward. Before leaving the billet we made a large bonfire with +boxes from the C.Q.M.'s stores. On this we burned all our letters, and +round it we had the last sing-song the old 'Seventeenth' ever had. We +then believed it 'Y' night, not 'W' night. The night before we had +gone up to the trenches through Aveluy and Authuille with petrol tins +full of water. These were stocked in dug-outs and along the trench and +formed our reserve water supply. Many of our guns were firing 'gun +fire,' yet the enemy made little artillery reply. He retaliated +chiefly on the front line defences with trench mortars. Of such a +violent nature was this bombardment that the Lonsdales had to call on +our 'D' Company for support to make up for their casualties in shell +shock, etc. Curiously enough, during the days 'D' Company held the +line they suffered no casualties, although the trench was battered out +of all recognition. When it was dark on 'W' night we marched to +Bouzincourt. Here we spent the night in huts. Before daybreak we were +shelled and had one man killed. Day showed an extraordinary sight. +Bouzincourt stands on the hill, the battle area stretched out like a +map below. Near the Crucifix on the Aveluy road a long naval gun +barked. Just behind us was a 15 inch howitzer. Its shells could easily +be watched in their flight overhead. In front were an infinite number +of guns all in action. A long line of observation balloons made a +crescent round Albert. One could count over twenty, and not one +German. The air was thick with our aeroplanes. The German lines looked +like long ribbons of white fur. The air was full of shrapnel balls, +especially over the woods, and the villages were burning. The heavy +howitzers were causing dreadful eruptions on the German strong points. +La Boisselle, believed impregnable, was a concentrated hell. The +Germans were putting shrapnel into the woods that lie in the triangle +between Hamel, Bouzincourt and Aveluy. Here our guns were massed. And +now and then <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[44]</a></span>a mushroom of smoke would spring up in unexpected +places. The noise was so terrific that it became monotonous. We were +served out with cotton wool for our ears, but in spite of this the +concussion on the 1st of July was so great that we all became stone +deaf, and for days after almost without the use of our voices. We +prepared for 'battle order.' All our belongings we packed into our +valises, and these were stored in an empty house in Bouzincourt. We +wore steel helmets, at that time they were without sandbag coverings, +and in strong sunlight reflected almost as brilliantly as polished +steel. I noticed on the 1st July, looking back from the advanced line +to the German original front line, how the helmets of our reserves +holding that line shone up and made their wearers clear targets. We +wore the haversack on our back containing mess tin, small kit, two +days' rations, 'iron rations,' pair of socks and waterproof sheet. We +carried four sandbags just below. Then we had the usual equipment, +pouches containing 120 rounds, bayonet, water bottle and entrenching +tool. Another 100 rounds in bandoliers, and I had extra an apron +containing 12 Mill's bombs and butterfly wirecutters. The whole formed +fairly heavy equipment. In the late afternoon when we were all lined +up prepared to march off, orders came to cancel all orders. We stood +by for two days. On 'X' night the 16th H.L.I. sent a platoon over to +find out the condition of the enemy defences. Owing to an accident +they were almost entirely wiped out. On the following morning while +playing a football match the Sixteenth again suffered casualties from +a 5.9 which burst between the goal posts. In the evening of 'Z' day, +the 30th of June, we marched off by platoons. The thunder of the heavy +guns as we passed through their belt was almost unbearable, and nearer +the lines long lines of eighteen-pounders were giving 'battery fire' +down long rows of twenty batteries, sometimes all speaking at once. We +entered 'Oban Avenue' at the right end of the village of Authuille. It +was the 'up' trench for the advance and 'Campbell Avenue' the 'down.' +Both trenches had been deepened, in some places, to twelve feet, and +were fairly safe from shrapnel. The line in which we were to spend the +night had been blown almost completely out of existence and it was +difficult to find sufficient cover for the men. I and the bomber +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[45]</a></span>who was next to me in the line found a corner and there slept for the +night. We were once disturbed by the enemy destroying a trench mortar +store situated close to where we slept. Daybreak came and still there +was no word of 'zero.' We made some breakfast, and about half-past +five word was passed along that zero was 7.30, and to move into battle +positions. We moved to the right until we were in contact with the +next Company. At 6.25 a.m. the final bombardment commenced. Every gun +was firing 'gunfire' and the rush of metal overhead was extraordinary. +The reply was feeble. At 7.25 we left the trench and walked over to +within 60 yards of the barrage. At 7.30 the barrage lifted and we +rushed the front line defences, destroying the garrison, in and out of +dug-outs. I have few definite memories from the time we first saw the +Germans to the time the machine gun swept us down outside the Liepzig +Redoubt. It became evident that we, who were working up between two +communication trenches, after two or three rushes, that further +advancing was impossible without support. We waited for our own +reserve waves and the Lonsdales who should have come on behind. But no +reserves reached us and we saw our only hope lay in the fact that they +had rushed one of the communication trenches and might manage to bomb +out the machine gun. But the bombers were checked out of range of the +gun. We began to work towards the communication trench, but owing to +the lie of the ground we were badly exposed and I at length found +myself the only living occupant of that corner. About twelve o'clock I +managed to leap the parapet without being hit. I found my platoon +officer, Lieut. MacBrayne, lying shot through the head. Of the others +of my platoon I could get no news, except those I saw lying dead or +wounded. Tom Train had completely disappeared. An order came up the +trench, '17th H.L.I. move to the left and prepare to support the +Dorsets.' The communication trench was at this time chiefly manned by +K.O.Y.L.I. (who should have supported the 16th H.L.I. who had been +held up by the German wire and cut up before able to take the first +line of defences. Those left were forced to retire to their own line). +A few Lonsdales (the 11th Borderers had been cut up coming up through +'Blighty Wood,' Colonel and Adjutant killed and all officers +casualties) were able to give us practically no support, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[46]</a></span>and a +Company of Manchesters, sent from Divisional Reserve. I moved to the +left. An officer suddenly jumped the parapet and shouted 'Come on, the +17th!' I followed him along with about twenty others. But we found the +barbed wire impossible to cut through and he gave us the order 'Every +man for himself.'</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep044" id="imagep044"></a> +<a href="images/imagep044.png"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep044.png" width="90%" alt="VIEW FROM BOUZINCOURT LOOKING TOWARDS THE LINE." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen" style="margin-top: .2em;">VIEW FROM BOUZINCOURT LOOKING TOWARDS THE LINE.<br />(<i>Sketch from Lieut.

Whilst talking to him we both fell +asleep and slept until about 5 p.m., when the Germans +counter-attacked. Their artillery became violent and they attempted to +come over the open. We ran for the communication trench and found it +disorganised. Orders got mixed and some seemed anxious to retire. +Fortunately the 17th H.L.I. bombers, who were in the advanced +position, held their ground, driving the enemy back with their own +bombs, and the attack over the open was checked by our brigade machine +guns which had been massed in the German front line. During the whole +action we lost no ground that had previously been gained. By this time +our Battalion had been badly hit. 'B' Company on our left had been +caught in the wire and cut to pieces by machine gun fire. My own +Company, 'A,' was down to low numbers. My Captain and my Platoon +Officer were both killed, all the platoon's N.C.O.s were killed or +wounded, two Sergeants outright, and all the L.-Corpls. dead. We had +17 officers killed and were working the Battalion with two officers. +The Colonel, who had been well forward all day, was without a scratch. +It was a remarkably clear day, very hot. We were on the ridge that +formed the defence on that side of Thiepval. From here we could see +the whole battlefield. I saw the huge eruption at La Boisselle, when +the six mines went up, and I remember watching long lines of +Highlanders charging along the opposite slope of the valley. The +aeroplanes followed every movement, flying low overhead and directing +the artillery by dropping flares. The Germans counter-attacked in a +half-hearted way through the night. We had casualties from our own +artillery and mortar batteries, otherwise the night was quieter than +we had expected. We managed to carry away a number of our wounded in +waterproof sheets. The battalions on both flanks were unsuccessful in +storming the enemy's front line defences, thus our flanks were exposed +and blockades <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47">[47]</a></span>had to be formed at the front line and all lines +forward to our advanced positions, which developed into a series of +bombing posts. Local fights went on at their posts all through the day +and night, and it was while chasing each other round corners at the +head of the communication trench in the afternoon that we lost +Sergeant Turnbull, V.C., who had done wonderful work all day. The +nature of the Leipzig defences, a maze of trenches and underground +saps, made advancing into the salient extremely hard. One was +continually attacked in the rear. What seemed dug-outs were bombed, +and when passed numbers of the enemy rush from them, they being really +underground communications with their rear defences. The whole +fighting was of a cold, deliberate, merciless nature. No quarter was +given or taken. One of the battalions opposing us was similar to our +own, a students' battalion from Bavaria. The enemy used explosive and +dum-dum bullets, and sniped off any of our wounded lying exposed in +the open. They were helped in their work by an arrangement we had come +to regarding wounded. It was not permitted to stop to take back +prisoners or to stop to dress a wounded chum; but it was permitted to +stick the bayonet of the wounded man's rifle in the ground and thus to +mark the spot where he lay. The Germans observed this and watched for +any movement in the heap beside the standing rifle. Men coolly fired +at each other at point blank range, and sniping became the chief cause +of casualties. It resembled a duel between two men who had had a +deadly quarrel—so intensely deliberate. On the morning of the 2nd of +July we handed over the front line of attack to Divisional Reserves +and went into support. At sunset we were relieved by the Cheshires, +and moved back to the dug-outs at Crucifix Corner. We had a number of +casualties coming out of action. We were given tea, food and rum, and +went off into a heavy sleep."</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="HULLUCH_AND_THEREABOUTS" id="HULLUCH_AND_THEREABOUTS"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[48]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>HULLUCH AND THEREABOUTS.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Senlis—last parade under Col.

Worn out with fatigue he had been reluctantly persuaded by +the Brigadier and the doctors that if he wished to live and serve his +country more in the war he must retire from the dreadful strain of +command. In a field at Senlis, on the afternoon of 8th July, the +remnants of the Battalion, on their last parade under Colonel Morton, +were drawn up, silent and deeply moved. In a few words the Colonel +told the Battalion what he was going to do and all stood there with +their losses and their heartbreaks, hardly able to keep down the +tears. Addressing the men he congratulated them in warm and feeling +terms for their devotion while under his command and wished them well +in the uncertainties of the future.</p> + +<p>Colonel Morton had started them, trained them, and cared for them; +fought Brigade and authorities for them; led them and loved them—and +now they were to lose him.

Major +Paul, on behalf of the Battalion, expressed the profound regret of all +ranks in losing the guidance and leadership of Colonel Morton, who had +raised the 17th to such a high state of proficiency, and to wish him a +well merited rest and all happiness. Just these few words of +"Good-bye," then they cheered him and, with a lump in their throats +they were not ashamed of, they dismissed. All said good-bye in their +hearts and wished him God-speed. It is sad to part with a loved C.O. +who, too, feels the parting.</p> + +<p>Major Paul then took over command of the 17th and that evening once +more they moved into the trenches in support at Quarry Post, Authuille +Wood.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[49]</a></span>On the 13th July a bombing party of about 100 men were ordered to +attack the German Line, north of Ovillers, linking up with the +Inniskillen Fusiliers, and this party at midnight under Captain +Ferguson, Lieuts. Herron and Kirk and Sergeant Stewart, in conjunction +with the Inniskillens and a party of Engineers, carried out the raid.</p> + +<p>The greatest credit was due to the initiative shown by Captain +Ferguson, in making excellent dispositions under very difficult +conditions. Owing to the strength of the German wire, a frontal attack +was impracticable, and after much thought, it was decided to attack +obliquely. The attack was most successful, a considerable number of +Germans being killed, while at least 16 were taken prisoners. The +objectives were all taken in a few minutes, but unfortunately the +raiders' losses were heavy. Captain Ferguson was mortally wounded, +eight other ranks were killed, and the other two officers and about 35 +other ranks were wounded.</p> + +<p>Writing of this incident, one of the Battalion officers says that +after the patrol had gone out those who were not taking part in it +heard the firing and the clamour of the small battle while they waited +eagerly for news of its progress. "News came in that the front was +safe, and proud of the efforts of our Battalion, we waited for their +return. The waiting was hard to bear, but the return sadder to +witness. They came back. On the right they had succeeded. On the left +they had died. A triumph and a disaster in one. On that small field +were left yet more of the (oh! so sadly few) gallant men of the +Seventeenth who, though exhausted and battle-worn, had in their own +true and fine spirit responded to the uttermost to the call for +gallant work. Later the body of Captain Ferguson was found right up to +the German lines grasping an empty revolver, far ahead in the charge +of even his gallant followers."</p> + +<p>For this action, the Battalion received thanks and congratulations +from the Corps and Division. A counter-attack drove the raiders out of +the captured trench; but the object of the raid—to create a diversion +from a major operation on the right—had been successfully +accomplished.</p> + +<p>This particular week, which was the last the Battalion saw of the +Somme fighting until later in the year, was one of the most strenuous +times which the unit had experienced. The <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[50]</a></span>available men for defensive +purposes were only too few and as new assembly trenches had to be dug +every night and all night, and also owing to the difficulties of +rationing and watering, the men were unable to get any rest.</p> + +<p>The Brigade commenced a move to Ampliers on 16th July, and on the road +the Battalion was met by Lieut.-General T.L.N. Moreland, commanding +the X Corps. He expressed to the Commanding Officer his appreciation +of the good work done by the Battalion while under his command, and +his deepest sympathy in their losses. On the 26th the Brigade moved +into Bethune and two days afterwards paraded in full marching order, +including "tin hats," on a sweltering afternoon, to be inspected by +General Munro, G.O.C., 1st Army. A very warm day. Owing to the calls +on an Army Commander's time, this inspection was considered to be a +great honour and a mark of appreciation by the authorities of the fine +spirit shown by the Division during the Somme battle.</p> + +<p>August saw the unit leave Bethune to take over the Cambrin right +sub-sector from the Northamptons, after putting in some fine shooting +on the old French Government Rifle Range at Labeauvriere. The strength +of the unit in the trenches apart from the officers, at the taking +over (August 5th) was 199—tragic testimony to the Somme. Immediately +on taking over the trenches they were subjected to trench mortar +bombardments and sniping raids. On 12th August Lieut. and Adjutant +Paterson became Captain and Adjutant, Major Paul became +Lieut.-Colonel, and 2nd Lieuts. Morrison and Marr, Captains.</p> + +<p>The following weeks of August, September and October were marked with +much moving about with various spells of that sort of uneventful +trench warfare which is perhaps in some respects more trying on the +nerves and strength of a unit than actual operations. On August 23rd +they were in the Hulluch Section. In this Section there was a good +deal of mining going on and there were two big craters which required +special watching, but the Battalion soon set to and trained in +grappling hook work to be ready for any kind of crater fighting that +might be demanded of them. On August 31st a move was made to Annequin +via Beuvry and Bethune, and ultimately by bus journey to the trenches +at Guinchy left sub-section, and in this area the unit remained during +September. On the 11th of the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[51]</a></span>month a night raid was attempted, but +was frustrated owing to the Germans bombing the party as it was on the +point of entering their trenches. Unfortunately the two N.C.O.s who +fired the torpedo were missing, and it is presumed that they were +blown to bits by the explosion.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep050a" id="imagep050a"></a> +<a href="images/imagep050a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep050a.jpg" width="70%" alt="Cookhouse at Becourt." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">Cookhouse at Becourt.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep050b" id="imagep050b"></a> +<a href="images/imagep050b.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep050b.jpg" width="70%" alt="Observation Post, Hulluch Sector." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">Observation Post, Hulluch Sector.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep050c" id="imagep050c"></a> +<a href="images/imagep050c.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep050c.jpg" width="70%" alt="War's Destruction." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">War's Destruction.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +<p class="right"><i>To face page 50.</i></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep051" id="imagep051"></a> +<a href="images/imagep051.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep051.jpg" width="55%" alt="Lieut.-Colonel W.J.

The next move saw the 17th leave Beuvry and proceeding to +Labeauvriere on October 16th; to Hardinval, on the 19th; to Rubempré, +on the 21st; to Bouzincourt, on the 23rd; back by Rubempré and on to +Canaples on the 31st via Talmas and Navurs. This treking was done in +weather that was oftener wet than dry, exceedingly cold at night, and +the living was under canvas. At Val-de-Maison on November 1st, the +unit moved to Vadencourt after a fortnight, and then into the +Martinsart Valley on the 15th, where they were ordered to go into +action at Beaumont-Hamel, for by this time several drafts had brought +up the strength of the Battalion.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="BEAUMONT-HAMEL" id="BEAUMONT-HAMEL"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>BEAUMONT-HAMEL.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>The attack—weather conditions—failure of artillery +support—forlorn hope—break-down of assault—gallantry and +sacrifice—casualties—Mailly-Maillet—Franqueville and +Rubempré—Xmas 1916 and New Year—football and high spirits.</i></p></div> + +<br /> + +<p>The attack which commenced at ten minutes past six on the morning on +November 18th—a day of ice-covered slushiness—was held up owing to +the insufficiency of the artillery barrage and the heavy enemy machine +gun fire. At 7.42 a.m. the message came in to the Battalion from the +right hand Company that the Company Commander was wounded and that a +Sergeant and about ten men were holding the right flank. The jumping +off trench known as New Munich Trench, was manned by the Battalion +machine gunners with a view to concentrating some of the Companies in +it back across "no man's land" to form a rallying point. At 8.30 a.m. +the following message was <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[52]</a></span>received from 2nd Lieut. Macbeth of the +right Company, "Am holding old front line with remainder of Battalion, +and have established a bombing post on the right. There are only +Lieut. Martin and myself in the trench." The left Company was also +being hard pressed. It was reported by one of the Battalion officers +that when the barrage opened a great number of shells fell just in +front of New Munich Trench where the attacking companies were lying +out, killing and wounding a large number of the Battalion. When the +barrage lifted on to Munich Trench for the last four minutes, it was +still short, and when the leading waves came up to about 50 or 60 +yards from Munich Trench followed by the barrage, the Germans could be +seen lying in the trench in force. When the barrage was on the Munich +Trench, the enemy machine guns played on the attackers from both +flanks all the time. The failure of the attack was due to the +inefficiency of the British supporting barrage, together with the +condition of the ground—thaw having set in and rain falling on the +snow, making it exceedingly slippery—the targets the men formed +against the snowy background, and the intense cold.</p> + +<p>Describing the attack one of the members of the Battalion +writes:—"The preliminary bombardment opened with its awful messages +of destruction, and the rapid reply of the enemy's artillery indicated +ominously that our intentions were not unknown to him. When our +barrage lifted, and the first wave of our men attempted to go forward, +their dark forms showed up against the snow. They were met by machine +gun fire, by rapid fire from the enemy trenches, and by snipers in +skilfully chosen holes. Our bombardment had failed. It was impossible +to get to close quarters with the enemy—hopeless to +advance—dangerous to retire. Many of our men were killed in the +attack, others in the attempt to carry in the wounded. Many remained +all day in exposed positions, beside their wounded comrades, in hope +of rescuing them when darkness fell. Beaumont Hamel will not be +remembered by us as bearing any resemblance to the official +description. We look back upon it now, from the personal point of +view, as a touchstone of the individual soul, as a prominent landmark +in the vast monotony of death and horror—a chapter of inspiring +deeds. It represents to us the heroism of a forlorn hope, the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[53]</a></span>glory +of unselfish sacrifice, the success of failure." 'Tis too easy to +despond "while the tired waves" visibly gain no "painful inch," hard +to believe that "far back through creeks and inlets making, comes +silent, flooding in, the main."</p> + +<p>On the 19th the Battalion was relieved and returned to Mailly-Maillet +where billets were taken over, and when the 17th rested and licked its +wounds—well over 300 of "Glasgow's Own" had either been killed or +wounded in that day's fighting. On the 21st of November General Gough, +G.O.C. Fifth Army, inspected and congratulated the Battalion, and +spoke to many of the N.C.O.s and men individually. During December the +unit carried on training at Franqueville and Rubempré, and that the +spirit of the men was not broken by the severity of their recent +experiences is shown by the number of football matches played during +the period. On Christmas Day, 1916, the officers beat the sergeants at +Rugby by 11 points to 0; in the afternoon "B" Company beat +Headquarters at Association by 4 goals to 0; and in the evening the +Battalion held a cheery concert. The Christmas Dinners were reserved +for the 30th, and on Hogmanay the New Year was welcomed with a +concert. General Gough attended Battalion Church Parade on the first +Sunday of the New Year.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_NEW_YEAR_1917" id="THE_NEW_YEAR_1917"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>THE NEW YEAR, 1917.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Bad weather—Courcelles—trench labours—varied +moves—beginning of Spring Offensive—attack by the +French—the advance—Nesle—condition of inhabitants—great +digging work at Germaine.</i></p></div> + +<br /> + +<p>The opening months of the New Year were months of battling not only +against a human enemy, but against the elements and the bad conditions +which they created. The winter of 1916 had been a severe one, and in +passing into 1917 it continued its course with unabated severity. The +Battalion left Rubempré on January 6th and partly by motor lorry and +partly in column of route proceeded to Courcelles where, on the +following day, they relieved the troops of the 3rd Division in the +trenches opposite Serre. The weather was bad, the enemy kept <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[54]</a></span>up brisk +attentions and the trenches were the worst which the Battalion had +ever been in. Most of them were absolutely impassable, being full of +water to a height of five feet, with the result that reliefs had for +the most part to be made outside the trenches. Owing to this condition +of matters, strict orders were issued for the prevention of "trench +feet," but notwithstanding every precaution, several cases occurred.</p> + +<p>Heavy and continuous work was put in mending and bettering the +trenches, training the drafts which were arriving, performing tactical +exercises and battalion routine affairs. By this time several +ceremonies had taken place at which decorations were bestowed upon +N.C.O.s and men for bravery in the Field and gallantry in action. +Esprit de corps was stronger than ever, and the tediousness of trench +labours was relieved by the establishment of special strong posts, by +minor raids on the Bosche, and when out of the line by football and +such recreations as the circumstances permitted. This type of +campaigning was experienced during January and February at Courcelles, +Beaumont Hamel, Lyntham Camp, Mailly-Maillet, Bolton Camp, +Molliens-au-Bois (where on February 19th, 1917, Major F.R.F. Sworder, +Gordon Highlanders, assumed temporary command—Colonel Paul, after +being in hospital in France, having been sent to England where he was +appointed to a home unit), Camon, Wiencourt, Le Quesnel. And in March, +the approach of spring seemed to bring with it nothing but additional +storms of rain and snow, and the names of such points in the line as +Key Post and Kuropatkin will bring back memories of buttressing up +collapsed trenches and mending wire entanglements.</p> + +<p>But the opening of the 1917 Spring Offensive soon gave a great fillip +to activities. The French attacked on March 16th and the 96th Brigade +attacked with it. The enemy was forced back so rapidly that by 2 +o'clock on the day following the Allied artillery was out of range, +and the day after that again saw the whole Battalion hard at it +clearing wire from the road running through the enemy's old front +system, and setting out on the march, complete with transport, at 5 in +the morning. Arriving at Nesle on March 19th, the troops were given a +tremendous welcome by the French populace. It was discovered there +that the people were literally starving, because the Germans <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[55]</a></span>had +taken their rations for some days previously. A dam on the Somme burst +its banks and no advance was possible until this was repaired and new +roads made across the floods, but it was only a few days until once +more the troops were pushing on and the Commanding Officer and Company +Commanders of the 17th were making a reconnaissance of the new main +position at Germaine. The digging at Germaine on March 28th was one of +the heaviest day's work ever done by the Battalion. The job commenced +at night, after an 18 mile march in rain and finished in snow. The +digging was covered by the 16th H.L.I., who held the outpost line. The +newly dug trenches were shelled on the following forenoon.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="ON_THE_HEELS_OF_THE_ENEMY" id="ON_THE_HEELS_OF_THE_ENEMY"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>ON THE HEELS OF THE ENEMY.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>The taking of Savy—casualties—patrolling—capture of +Fayet—congratulatory messages—strenuous +days—Canizy—competitions with the French—work and +sport—Hangard—leaving the Fourth Army—Farewell message from +General Rawlinson.</i></p></div> + +<br /> + +<p>The Battalion moved off from Germaine at midnight on April 1st, 1917, +and proceeded by Companies at 200 yard intervals cross country to +Fluquieres. Arriving there they passed through the village, a pile of +smouldering ruins, and on the main St. Quentin road and about half a +mile along it they reached Roupy with its destroyed cross-roads and +proceeded towards a point near Savy where the Battalion deployed, and +attacking at 5 a.m. moved forward, overcame the opposition and took +Savy. In the village the Bosche put up a desperate stand and some +fierce fighting took place before they were pushed beyond the railway +bank north of the village. Most of the fighting took place in the +neighbourhood of an orchard at the southern end of the village, and +here the 11th Border Regiment joined forces in helping to drive out +the stubborn enemy. Once through the village serious destruction was +caused by heavy machine gun fire from an enemy strong <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[56]</a></span>point in a mine +crater. With the aid of two Lewis guns, the crater was soon in the +hands of the 17th and a heavy fire directed on the retreating enemy. +Thereafter the Battalion started to dig in (about 6.30 a.m.), and soon +consolidated their gains, although subject to strong artillery, +machine gun and sniping fire. In the afternoon a further attack was +made by the 96th Brigade, and before evening Bois-de-Savy was in their +hands. The Battalion was relieved in the evening and moved off to take +up quarters in dug-outs on the Fluquieres-Douchy Road, but the place +had been so badly knocked about that a large portion of the unit +bivouacked.</p> + +<p>The total casualties in this day's fighting was 103, 31 of whom were +killed. During the following week the Battalion suffered from the +severe winter conditions, coupled with incessant shelling and had much +to do strengthening their positions. On the 9th some magnificent +patrolling was done, for which the Battalion was deservedly +congratulated. In the afternoon of that day four patrols set out to +gain information of Fayet and the ground between Francilly and St. +Quentin. One patrol went to the ridge overlooking St. Quentin, one +went into a German trench near Fayet, one went within 300 yards of +Fayet, and the fourth reconnoitred the southern approaches of the +village—and much valuable information was accordingly gained.</p> + +<p>On the 12th April, Major Lumsden, V.C., D.S.O., who was in temporary +command of the Battalion, relinquished that post, to take up duty as +Brigadier-General of the 14th Infantry Brigade—which this very +distinguished officer commanded until he was killed—and Captain +Morton assumed command of the Battalion, with Captain Paterson, M.C., +as second in command.</p> + +<p>While at Holnon on the 13th, "C" and "D" Companies were sent forward +in support of the 2nd K.O.Y.L.I., who were attacking Fayet. This +attack was carried out in conjunction with one being made by the +French, who were endeavouring to take St. Quentin. "B" Company joined +the others in the front line, and later the Battalion took over a +sector of the front line. After consolidating here, congratulatory +messages were received from Brigadier-General Blacklock, General Shute +and General Rawlinson.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[57]</a></span>The road from Nesle to St. Quentin is a long and cruel one, but in +these early days of 1917, it was to the 17th H.L.I. the pathway to +glory. They were sweeping onwards in the track of the retreating +enemy, with the glow of victory to strengthen their hearts and the +blessings of a delivered people in their ears. The echoing trumpets of +romance called to them from the Cathedral City, and their blood +stirred to the call. These were the impressions that led them, in +common with the rest of the Division, to surmount appalling obstacles, +natural and devilish. They soaked in the snow, and froze in the keen +blast; they starved and toiled on the way, but "stuck it," and their +reward was the fall of Savy village. There was fighting all along the +50 mile front just then, and Savy did not loom very large in the +chronicles of the time, but those who took part in its capture, and in +the taking of the wood a mile beyond, knew that they had achieved the +heroic. There was no resting; Francilly and Holnon were the next to +fall, and the men were within sight of the spires of St. Quentin. They +lived for some days in earth holes, and the weather flayed them +unmercifully. Then one dark morning, the 13th of April, they assembled +silently and lay down in the field, whilst dawn broke with singing of +birds, and the shriek and whistle of the barrage. The Division was +attacking Fayet, the enemy's last stronghold beyond the city. Before +they went over, grey and green coated figures were being brought down. +There were many other grey and green figures grotesquely contorted in +the brown ribbed fields, and those of them who had escaped from the +inferno fought it out intermittently, in the woods beyond the village. +But their sniping was braved for a few days more, and then one night +they staggered weakly back through nightmare villages to Germaine for +rest.</p> + +<p>After resting at Germaine the Battalion set off on the 19th for Canizy +which was reached by evening. They found this village emptied of the +native populace and saw that the Germans had been carrying out their +usual work of destruction in the same wanton and deliberate scale as +in nearly every village in the regained area. A more cheerful memory +of this devastated village is that while here the Battalion got its +new bugle band. While stationed there the Battalion marched over to +Ham where a football match was to be played. Their <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[58]</a></span>march into the +town caused great interest, and they passed through a long line of +French soldiers and civilians who lined the roads. On their approach +along the main street, the square seemed totally blocked with a mass +of French soldiers, and a company of infantry stood at the "present" +as a Guard of Honour as they marched past the Town Hall, while the +French band rendered our National Anthem. After the Battalion team had +won their match by 6 goals to 1 against the 121st Infantry Regiment +and a scratch team had played a drawn game against the 408th Regiment, +the French band played the men out of the village. But the French were +not allowed to have all their own way of it with the music, for the +Battalion Pipe Band played to them and was received with much favour.</p> + +<p>The regiment was in highest spirits, battle scarred and with a +glorious record of great achievements established. The Battalion +remained at rest in the village of Canizy until May 15th—that is, +they trained hard and played hard, went marches and were inspected, +performed innumerable fatigues and parades and carried out generally +that never ending programme of activities which always makes a soldier +smile at the mention of the word "rest!" The men played some of their +keenest and most memorable games of soccer here, and one of the +principle pastimes engaged in by the officers was hunting, until this +was forbidden by G.H.Q. The country, being entirely uncultivated made +ideal going. Major Campbell, in charge of Physical Training, G.H.Q., +was with the 17th for some time, and put extra life into sport and +training.</p> + +<p>On the 15th the Battalion moved off to Curchy, via Voyennes and Nesle, +and on the succeeding day to Rosieres and so on to Hangard on the +18th, where the "resting" was carried on until the end of the month, +when they proceeded to Villers-Bretonneux. Of the villages in the +regained area little or no description in the normal sense is possible +beyond the fact that while some semblance of streets could be traced +in some of them, the majority of them were simply masses of masonry +debris literally peppered with shell craters. But it was noticeable in +such villages as Nesle that the civilians showed a very marked +physical improvement as the result of better feeding and life under +British occupation. While at Hangard, Battalion <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[59]</a></span>Headquarters occupied +Hangard Chateau—one of the finest chateaux in France. (It was +demolished during the 1918 German offensive.) The Brigade concentrated +at Villers-Bretonneux prior to entraining for the Second Army.</p> + +<p>But before leaving the Fourth Army, to which the 17th had given such +brilliant service, the following message was transmitted to the +Battalion as one of the Divisional units concerned:—</p> + +<div class="block"> +<p class="right"><span class="sc">Fourth Army</span>, No. G.S.702.</p> +<p>"32nd <span class="sc">Division</span>.</p> + +<p>"As the Division will shortly be leaving the Fourth Army I +desire to express to all ranks my warm thanks for the +excellent services they have performed whilst under my +command.

The +train calmly continued its journey and in due course arrived at +Steenbecque, the men who were left following on in the overcrowded +trucks of the 2nd Manchesters.

This was one +of the most trying marches they had experienced, and a large number of +men fell out. In 6 hours the unit had covered 24 kilometres which, in +full marching order, was a most difficult and wearisome performance. +On the 16th the Battalion embussed outside Steenvoorde, and after +leaving the charabancs at Petite Synthe, they marched to billets at +Mardyck. Hereabouts was pleasant country with excellent sea bathing. +Petite Synthe was left on the 19th for Dunkirk where they entrained +and proceeded east along the sand dunes to Coxyde and, on the +following day, into the coastal camp of Kuhn. Coxyde and Kuhn were +French built camps and very good, with vegetable gardens attached to +them.</p> + +<p>Until 10th July the Battalion stayed in this vicinity, and despite +spells of shelling, trench mortar and aerial bombardments, +considerable patrolling and wiring work, the stay on the sand dunes +about Nieuport was heaven after the endless mud and horror of the +winter on the Somme. The very mention of Nieuport to a man who was +there in the first week of July, 1917, makes a marked impression on +his countenance. Since detraining at Coxyde on 20th June, things had +been comparatively quiet and the weather ideal. Working parties were +supplied for the roads during the day and smaller parties were engaged +on the breastworks in the front line at night. The quietness was +absolutely awful. But the presence of civilians in Oost Dunkirk and +Les Bains gave an air of security and quietude to the place which was +very soothing to the heart of the soldier. It is true that aerial +activity was disquieting at times, but several successful attacks on +the "Vultures of the Kaiser" made these items of interest, rather than +causes of alarm. The Germans seemed to pay greater attention to +something well on the left of the Battalion and towards the sea, than +to anything that concerned them particularly. The appearance of the +roads from Oost Dunkirk to Nieuport was most assuring and their great +beauty and undisturbed tranquillity were all that could be desired.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[62]</a></span>A large amount of work was attempted during this period on the Brigade +Front, in order to obtain sufficient cover for protection against +retaliation after our artillery bombardments began, prior to an +intended attack on the sea-coast by the 4th Army, in conjunction with +the 5th and 2nd Armies from Ypres. The enemy, before our artillery +came in, greatly increased his artillery force, and daily destroyed +any work done by night. These destructive shoots were afterwards found +to be part of his barrage programme for the attack on the 10th July.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="OPERATIONS_ON_THE_COAST" id="OPERATIONS_ON_THE_COAST"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>OPERATIONS ON THE COAST.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Enemy hurricane bombardment—enemy attempt frustrated—attack +abandoned—visit to H.L.I.—sports—visit of Dr. +Kelman—patrol work by Corpl.

In the previous +chapter some idea of the general conditions has been given. And the +period which followed was of somewhat like nature with intermittent +outstanding excursions and alarms and with memorable pleasant episodes +to intermix with those more combative, and in this chapter the +outstanding features will be recorded without following the movements +of the Battalion to the various points in this sand-dune sector.</p> + +<p>The comparatively routine behaviour of the daily aerial and artillery +"strafe" broke into a brisk and heavy bombardment on the Division to +the left on the night of July 9th, but on the 10th about five o'clock +in the morning this heavy fire switched on to the trenches from the +border of the sea to Nieuport. The bombardment crashed on to all +lines, firing, reserve, and rear. It got heavier and heavier and soon +reached an unprecedented violence and extended to the flanking +Divisions as well. The British guns replied, but could not force the +hostile fire to slacken, and in the evening the enemy came on in +attack. They carried the trenches of the units on the left and +patrols <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[63]</a></span>were put out and the flank strengthened. This was the +severest bombardment the Battalion had ever been in. It was a +hurricane onslaught. The 17th knew that sort. They had been through +it. Positions were taken and held, where no trench afforded cover, and +where breastworks were blown away.</p> + +<p>The 17th were ordered to send three Companies in support of the Border +Regiment who were being hard pressed east of the Yser. "A," "B" and +"C" Companies were despatched on this mission. These Companies +experienced very stiff fighting throughout the night of the 10-11th, +until relieved early in the morning of the 11th by the Northumberland +Fusiliers.</p> + +<p>On the following day the bombardment slackened a little, though during +the night hurricane fire broke out, and over the period of this attack +the Hun used a very large number of tear gas shells—which at that +time was a new horror introduced to the sufferings of the British +armies. Who will forget the Redans, Le Grand and Le Petit, the Bridges +Putney and Pelican? The last named was renewed or rebuilt on the +average three times every twenty-four hours. No words can describe +what took place between the 10th and 13th of that awful month. The +Germans, expecting an attack, made one. After these terrible three +days, the Battalion, whose luck it was on this occasion to be spared +the brunt of the action, after being relieved by the Borderers, +struggled back through a mixed barrage of shells of all calibres, +sprinkled with those of gas. There was a fog of gas and dust for miles +behind the lines.</p> + +<p>The enemy attempt had broken down; the Battalion returned to Ghyvelde +of pleasant recollection, and on the 13th the Division was +congratulated on its successful efforts.</p> + +<p>On July 20th Major J. Inglis joined the Battalion and took over +command at Bray Dunes Plage. On the 23rd the Brigade was inspected by +the Divisional General, Major-General Shute. After his inspection he +gave an address congratulating the Brigade on its part against the +enemy attack on the 10th inst. at Nieuport, and on the same day the +Corps Commander also inspected the Brigade, complimenting the men on +their clean and smart appearance, and paying a high tribute to their +fighting qualities.</p> + +<p>August opened with the prospect of making an attack on the enemy and +exercises were practised accordingly. On 6th <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[64]</a></span>August a Battalion +reconnaissance was made which included reporting on all tracks to the +front line, arranging an assembling position in "no man's land," and +learning the condition of the existing wire in front of both our own +and the enemy's line. The weather for some little time had been very +wet, the night selected for the reconnaissance was very bright and +none too suitable, and the condition of the ground was extremely +muddy, making movement slow and difficult. After examining the whole +situation it was recognised that any possibility of successfully +attacking upon this position was out of the question. Indeed, the bad +weather throughout August delayed whatever action had been +contemplated by either side.</p> + +<p>The 9th H.L.I. (The Glasgow Highlanders) were lying at Ghyvelde, and +on 11th August, the 17th paid them a visit, while the Battalion +football teams played a match. Another convivial day was spent on the +24th when the Battalion sports were held. The day cleared up to one of +bright sunshine, and a large number of spectators enjoyed the sport. +The events were continued on the following day when even a larger +number of guests and spectators attended, including many Colonial +soldiers, and the various events were keenly contested, both by the +men of the home Battalion and those from others in the area. A good +turn out of British and Belgian nurses from La Panne Hospital +brightened the gathering, and at the conclusion of the sports the +prizes were presented by two of the lady guests. On the Saturday +following Brigade Sports were held under ideal conditions, the +Battalion representatives winning numerous prizes.</p> + +<p>At Church Parade on the 26th, the Presbyterian Service was conducted +in camp by the Rev. Dr. Kelman, of Free St. George's, Edinburgh, who +delivered a very impressive address which was listened to with the +closest attention by the men. Dr. Kelman then left to preach to +another Battalion and the 17th prepared to go back to the line.</p> + +<p>The Battalion kept up its old record of keen patrolling, and during +their front line spell at the beginning of September some +reconnaissance work was well carried out under conditions unusually +difficult. On the night of 3rd September, 1917, 2nd Lieut. Forbes and +Corpl. J. Wilson of "C" Company waded across a swamped portion which +lay between the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[65]</a></span>Battalion positions and a point known as Roode Poorte +Farm. Coming to a point where the water was too deep for wading, +Corpl. Wilson swam across and on reaching ground crawled in the +direction of the enemy lines. Finding this line of approach of no use +for operations, he swam back to the point where the patrol was +covering his movements, and selecting another point, swam across the +canal which lay to the east, opposite the farm buildings, and carried +out his reconnaissance.</p> + +<p>On the 8th, while at Wulpen, a gas attack was successfully carried +through on to the enemy's lines, and on the 13th, the third +anniversary of the forming of the Battalion was spent in the trenches. +A telegram congratulating the Battalion on its anniversary was +received from the Brigadier, and a reply sent reciprocating the +General's good wishes.</p> + +<p>The enemy perpetrated a novel surprise raid, which had some of the +elements of picture-house humour in it, on one of the Battalion +advanced Listening Posts, and by their new device gained temporary +footing in it. A strong stream of water, apparently from a hose was +directed suddenly upon the men in the Listening Post from the enemy +position. While the men were baffled and blinded by the rush of water, +the post was bombed and the two listeners retired on the main post for +support. Immediately a counter-attack was organised and led by Company +Sergeant-Major Miller of "A" Company, and the post was re-established.</p> + +<p>Orders were received on October 5th, 1917, for the relief of the 97th +Infantry Brigade by the 125th Infantry Brigade. The Battalion +accordingly withdrew to Coxyde that night, and on the following +morning left for Adinkerke on the way to fresh fields and battles +new.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_YPRES_SALIENT" id="THE_YPRES_SALIENT"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[66]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>THE YPRES SALIENT.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Passchendaele—gallantry of attack—casualties—Hilltop +Farm—move to Landethun and Yeuse—Serre Sector—close of +1917.</i></p></div> + +<br /> + +<p>At Adinkerke, on their way to the Ypres Salient, the men were embarked +on barges on October 6th, 1917, and journeyed by canal to near +Rosendael where they billeted and where Lieut. Colonel J. Inglis +rejoined the Battalion from leave and resumed command. They then +underwent intensive training at Uxem until the 24th, when they left en +route for the Eringham area in accordance with the forward move of the +Brigade Group. The next day saw them at Rubrouck and on the next again +they arrived at Broxcele where training was again entered upon and +continued until November 9th.</p> + +<p>About this period Lieut. Colonel Inglis and the Adjutant, Captain F.E. +Dunsmuir, were away from the Battalion making a preliminary tour of +inspection of the line on the Ypres front.</p> + +<p>On the 10th, the Battalion was once more in column of route on their +way to Wormhoudt, and on the following day, to Watou to "Road Camp" in +the St. Jan Ter Biezen area, where training was resumed, and this time +once more within sound of the rumble of the guns. But that didn't +upset the H.L.I., whose 16th and 17th Battalions met in the final of +the Brigade Football Tournament, which was won in easy style, 5 goals +to nil, by the Chamber of Commerce boys. Four days later they defeated +the 32nd Divisional Supply Column in the semi-final of the Divisional +Tournament, and then two days after that, meeting the 2nd Royal +Inniskillen Fusiliers in the final, the 17th H.L.I. carried off the +Championship, repeating their performance of the previous year against +the same finalists.</p> + +<p>On the following day the Divisional Commander addressed the Brigade, +which was drawn up on the football field, and reminded the men of the +sterner duties that now lay before them, and expressed the hope that +they would maintain the honourable traditions associated with the name +of the 97th Infantry Brigade—which, indeed, they more than +maintained.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[67]</a></span>The Battalion left the camp on November 22nd for Poperinghe where they +entrained to continue the journey up the line, and arriving at St. +Jean Station, detrained and marched to "Irish Camp."</p> + +<p>On the afternoon of the 23rd a start was made for the Passchendaele +front line system, the route taken by the Battalion being for the +greater part over the duck board walks "Mouse Trap Track," which +covered ground won in the recent big push at Passchendaele. The +take-over was not completed without casualties, but these were +comparatively few considering the dangerous nature of the going, which +was in the open over shell-pitted ground. The Battalion relieved by +the 17th was the 1st Northamptonshire Battalion. During the night the +17th captured its first prisoner in this area—a corporal of the 315th +Regiment. According to his statement he had been out on patrol when he +lost one of his boots in the mud and in trying to find it he had +strayed into our lines and been taken. During their initial tour of +the Passchendaele system much heavy work was done in converting the +shell-hole defence line into trenches, and patrolling. Several +casualties were reported each day and the mud was thick and sticky. On +the 26th the Battalion was relieved and proceeded to Dambre Camp in +the Vlamertinghe area where everybody rested and completed the +preparations for the forthcoming offensive at Passchendaele.</p> + +<p>It may be said at the outset that the element of surprise intended in +the Passchendaele attack failed entirely, as the enemy were aware of +the British intentions and fully prepared. In addition, the fact that +the artillery barrage proper did not open until zero plus eight +minutes, allowed the enemy entire freedom of action in his front posts +with rifles and machine guns.</p> + +<p>The Battalion moved into the line on the evening of December 1st in +conjunction with the other Battalions of the Brigade—2nd K.O.Y.L.I.; +16th H.L.I.; 11th Border Regiment; and the 15th Lancashire Fusiliers +(attached). The 16th Northumberland Fusiliers of the 96th Infantry +Brigade were attached to the 97th Infantry Brigade as +counter-attacking troops to be used in the event of a strong hostile +counter-attack on the Brigade front. The frontage taken over by the +Brigade was one of 1,850 yards approximately along <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[68]</a></span>the Passchendaele +Ridge. There were two objectives to be taken, of which sections were +detailed as the job of the 17th—a slice which included two formidable +"pill-boxes" known as the "Vat and Veal Cottages."</p> + +<p>The Battalion assembled on a frontage of 400 yards and at Zero Hour +(1.55 a.m.) moved forward to the attack. Companies deployed from a two +platoon frontage in snake formation—this method having been adopted +owing to the shell torn nature of the ground—and advanced in four +waves. "A" and "B" Companies were to capture the first objective, +mopping up all occupied points in the way, including the two pill +boxes, while "C" and "D" were to "leap-frog" through them, carry the +next objective and consolidate.</p> + +<p>The initial stages of the attack were successfully carried through, +but the enemy—as was afterwards learned—knowing of what was on foot, +waited in readiness. Suddenly he opened heavy machine gun fire upon +the advancing Companies, inflicting heavy casualties which, in the +dark and over the difficult ground, had the effect of splitting up the +sections and creating some confusion. The officers and men of the +Battalion gallantly pressed on against these odds, however, and +succeeded in reaching their objective; but the enemy machine gun and +rifle fire became so intense that their advanced positions were +rendered humanly untenable. Our men, though forced to retire in +places, established themselves in shell-hole posts, where an attempt +was made to consolidate.</p> + +<p>The artillery and machine gun barrage, though intense, had failed, +owing to the enemy's fore-knowledge of the attack, to effect its +purpose. His strong points were heavily garrisoned and wired and he +was also found to be established in strong lines of trenches also +effectively wired. The Battalion hung on all through that awful night +in its isolated positions, for orders were received that the attack +would be renewed in the morning, but these orders were afterwards +cancelled.</p> + +<p>From dawn onwards artillery fire slackened somewhat, but the enemy +machine gunners and snipers kept up harassing fire from their well +established posts against the men in their exposed and isolated posts.</p> + +<p>It was obvious that a hostile counter-attack might be expected, and +this took place about 4 p.m. on the afternoon of <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_69" id="Page_69">[69]</a></span>the 2nd, preceded +by an intense artillery barrage. Owing to the terrible difficulties of +their position, and the sweeping casualties inflicted, the line was +forced back, but the actual enemy attack which followed his barrage +was met by the rifle fire of the shattered 17th, and after the Bosches +had approached within a certain distance of the posts, they broke and +turned back in retreat.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep068" id="imagep068"></a> +<a href="images/imagep068.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep068.jpg" width="80%" alt="Types of Support Line Dug-outs and First Aid Post." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">Types of Support Line Dug-outs and First Aid Post.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +<p class="right"><i>To face page 68.</i></p> +</div> + +<p>Though the withdrawal of the Divisional line had been almost general, +some of the Battalion posts were still hanging on to the advanced +positions on the 3rd. Many wounded were lying out, suffering the most +appalling rigours of war and the Battalion stretcher-bearers displayed +great devotion to duty in ignoring the heavy fire while bringing them +in to comparative shelter. The work at first was extremely dangerous, +but later on in the day a lull occurred when it was possible to carry +on this labour of mercy under less trying conditions. And it must be +recorded, as far as this battle is concerned, that from this point +onward the German reversed his frequent policy and shewed respect for +the Red Cross Flag, only one instance of sniping taking place when one +of the Battalion stretcher-bearers was shot dead while bending over a +wounded comrade. Enemy stretcher-bearers were also at work and in some +instances they reciprocated attentions given to their wounded, by +dressing and carrying our casualties. In this way all the wounded were +got in before the Brigade was relieved that night. The Battalion +frontage was taken over by the 5/6th Royal Scots. The relief was +successfully completed and the remnants of the Battalion reached +"Hilltop Farm" in the early morning, entraining later for Hospital +Camp in the Vlamertinghe area. The casualties were particularly heavy +among Officers and N.C.O.s, and gives trenchant evidence of their +self-sacrificing gallantry in seeking by utter disregard for danger to +turn a forlorn hope into victory, and by personal example and +incentive to make still richer the honourable traditions of the 17th +in the face of such overwhelming odds, and amidst such overaweing +devastation. In this action seven officers were killed and five +wounded. Of other ranks 41 were killed, 130 wounded and 13 missing.</p> + +<p>The Battalion was organised as far as possible in its depleted +condition and work and training carried on until December <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[70]</a></span>10th, when +once more the unit moved up the line to Hilltop Farm, N.E. of Ypres. +During their stay here, Mr. Fred A. Farrell, the well-known Scottish +artist, visited the 17th on a commission from the Corporation of +Glasgow to execute drawings of the Glasgow Battalions and the places +in which they were operating.</p> + +<p>On December 13th they were back in the trenches. Hard winter weather +had now set in, with fog, frost and water sogged ground. On the 20th +the Battalion was relieved and, as far as weather is concerned, spent +a typical Christmas Day when it came round, in Dambre Camp. Being in +Corps Reserve, nothing in the nature of Christmas festivities could be +permitted, but the gifts supplied by the Chamber of Commerce provided +seasonable fare and brought a measure of good cheer.</p> + +<p>After a series of alarms and stand-to's, a Divisional Relief was +carried through, and on December 30th the Battalion trained to +Audruicq and set out on an arduous route march for the villages of +Landrethun and Yeuse, where the men were happily enabled to spend a +night's rest in comfortable billets, "A," "B," "C," and Headquarters +in the former village, and "D" in the latter.</p> + +<p>The last day of the year which had probably been the hardest and, as +far as campaigning is concerned, the most eventful in the history of +the Battalion, was passed amidst the peaceful surroundings of these +villages untouched by war. The beginning of the year had seen the +Battalion in the line in the Serre Sector, then had followed the +memorable days of Beaumont Hamel, Honoroye, the battle of Savy and the +taking of Fayet in the St. Quentin area, a well deserved period of +rest at Canizy and thence by train and road into Belgium, being held +in reserve for the Battle of Messines, three hard months spent in the +line in the Nieuport Sector and the St. George's Sector, and then +after a spell of rest—forward into Passchendaele.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_DISBANDMENT" id="THE_DISBANDMENT"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[71]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>THE DISBANDMENT.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> + +<div class="block2"><p class="noin"><i>Hogmanay—with the II.

Every New Army unit in the B.E.F. +had about this time qualms of fear that if rumours proved true the +selection might fall on them. Esprit de corps was never stronger and +the very thought of possible separations from brothers-in-arms, fell +as a vague shadowy fear over the 17th because it looked very likely +that the 17th, being the junior H.L.I. Battalion of the Division, +would be the Divisional victim in any re-arrangement that might be +carried out. But nothing definite was known, and the advent of New +Year, 1918, brought with it a feeling of hope for the future.</p> + +<p>The Battalion was still billeted in the peaceful villages of +Landrethun and Yeuse. On the opening day of the year the ground was +snow covered, rendering parades well nigh impossible, and so the men +were at liberty. Preparations were eagerly pushed forward for a New +Year Feast, and on the 3rd, in spite of provisioning difficulties, +very complete arrangements had been successfully made considering the +length of time available for providing the men with a seasonable +repast on that evening. The Companies sat down to a feast of roast +pork—which only a few hours before had been a live pig. There was +soup, haggis, plum pudding, apple dumpling, cake, cigarettes, and +copious supplies of beer. The Commanding Officer, accompanied by Major +G.R.S. Paterson, and the Adjutant, visited each Company in turn to +wish them the Compliments of the Season, and the night finished with +song and story.</p> + +<p>Work and training was resumed again in earnest the next day as far as +the weather conditions would permit. On the 9th of January the +Battalion moved off, embussing for the forward area to operate on the +II. Corps Line. After a cold journey in a heavy snowstorm, they +arrived at Murat Camp <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[72]</a></span>late at night and came under the command of the +35th Division. They found the camp in very bad order and set about +putting it right, meanwhile working parties were carrying on under the +C.R.E. of the Division. Splendid work was carried out by the Battalion +during this period, despite snowstorms and blizzards, and high praise +was given to the unit by the Corps Commander. All the Royal Engineer +Officers connected with the work declared they had never had better +nor keener infantry parties.</p> + +<p>On the 16th Major Morton assumed command of the Battalion during the +absence of Lieut.-Colonel Inglis on leave; and on the 18th Major +Morton was ordered to hospital and Major Paterson took over.</p> + +<p><i>The Battalion Intelligence News Sheet</i>, inaugurated to keep all ranks +fully informed of the principal events of the day as regards the war, +was circulated, but it could not hope to oust <i>The Outpost</i> as the +real news vehicle of the 17th.</p> + +<p>On the 25th of January the Battalion left Murat Camp for a camp near +Woeston and came under the command of the 1st Division, and on the +27th the Battalion relieved the 10th Gloucesters in reserve in the Het +Sas Sector, and carried on improving the line until the 31st of +January—when the blow fell and hopes were dashed to the ground. While +in Brigade Support at Houthust Forest Sector, Major Paterson was sent +for by Brigadier-General C.A. Blacklock, who informed him that the +re-organisation of the Army necessitated the disbanding of an H.L.I. +Battalion in the 32nd Division. The Battalion selected was the junior +one, the 17th. General Blacklock expressed in very generous terms his +admiration for the Battalion, and for all that it had done, and +expressed his sorrow and regret that so fine a unit had to be broken +up, and the officers, non-com. officers and men serving in it would be +drafted to other H.L.I. Battalions, which would necessitate, in many +cases, the breaking up of what had been very long friendships.</p> + +<p>Early in January, 1918, it had been decided by the War Office to adopt +the three Battalion per Brigade system throughout the British Army, +and this resulted in the disbandment of many Battalions which had seen +much service abroad, and had won a name for themselves in France. +Perhaps the chief <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_73" id="Page_73">[73]</a></span>Battalion in the whole army to be disbanded was the +17th Service Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry, and the +disbandment of this Battalion came as a bitter blow, not only to those +who were serving in the Battalion at that time, but also to those who +had served in it at some time or other in the past and possibly to +those who were looking forward to serving with it in the future.</p> + +<p>Needless to say all ranks of the Battalion were deeply disappointed at +the Commander-in-Chief's decision, which was received as a calamity. +The highest traditions of the Battalion had been maintained +throughout, and the esprit de corps and good comradeship of all ranks +made the news almost unbearable.</p> + +<p>As soon as the official notification arrived the Battalion was +relieved by the First Battalion, the Dorset Regiment, and was +withdrawn to Hospital Camp near Woesten where the disbanding was to be +carried out. From then onwards an enormous amount of work fell on +everybody, especially on the Adjutant, Captain Dunsmuir, M.C., who was +responsible for compiling the rolls of the different drafts, which +were to proceed to the various H.L.I. Battalions in France, comprising +the 10/11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 18th Battalions.</p> + +<p>On the 11th of February the first draft, consisting of about seven +officers and 200 other ranks marched out of camp to the tune of the +pipes en route for the railway station at Boesinghe, where it +entrained and proceeded to join the 10/11th Battalion H.L.I. Although +there was much cheering as the train steamed away, yet there were many +men with sad hearts at leaving the Battalion they had served in from +the beginning, which had become their home in the Army.</p> + +<p>For the next few days that followed, similar drafts were sent off +until the strength of the Battalion was reduced to the establishment +for Headquarters with Transport. For about a week this small unit +carried on, until the Transport section, under the Transport Officer, +Lieut. Smith, was detached, and was attached to the Division where it +remained for some time until it was sent to the base for drafting. All +that remained now was the Headquarters establishment, commanded by +Lieut.-Colonel Inglis, D.S.O., who had returned from leave, and this +establishment was sent to take over another camp <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_74" id="Page_74">[74]</a></span>which was to be run +as a Divisional Reception Camp for men returning to their units from +leave. About a week later orders were received that some of the H.Q. +personnel were to be drafted away, and on the next day a draft of +about thirty men under R.S.M. Burns proceeded to join the 13th +Entrenching Battalion. A few days later all that was left of the +Battalion under Captain Dunsmuir, M.C., was drafted to the same +Battalion, and Lieut.-Colonel Inglis, D.S.O., and Major Morton, who +was again with the Battalion, were ordered to report to Divisional +Headquarters.</p> + +<p>All that remained now of the 17th Battalion Highland Light Infantry +was the name, but that name will always remain in the minds of those +who served in the Battalion, and the mere mention of it brings back +happy memories of days spent both at home and abroad to those who knew +it.</p> + +<p>As William Glennie of "A" Company, writes:—"That the good old +Battalion would end, we all expected, as the happy sequence of +completed duty, and somehow we all imagined we would be there. In our +ideal picture of the scene, George Square was clearly outlined; +somehow we fancied old Hughie would order 'Officers, fall out please,' +and while the ranks took the rhythmical right turn, the 'Faither' +would step forward from the right of 'C' Company, give his +characteristic red army salute, shake his cane and rap out 'Quick time +off the parade ground' in his best Troon parade style. But we forgot +the war, as too often in our ideal outlook we did.</p> + +<hr style='width: 15%;' /> + +<p>"'Fall out ... the 17th Highland Light Infantry....' That was at No. 6 +Camp, Calais, in the chill dusk of 6th February, 1918. Back from +Blighty leave, as the news spread, we took it philosophically—the old +Battalion had been disbanded, and scattered to various sister +battalions. Here we were, practically all the originals to the number +of about 50, the sole remnants of 26 months of war, welcomed back to +France for the second time, but not to the Seventeenth; orphans to be +adopted by strange parents.</p> + +<hr style='width: 15%;' /> + +<p>"'Quick march.' The party swung slowly down the rough track between +the huts. It was one of those innumerable <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_75" id="Page_75">[75]</a></span>hutted campments behind +Poperinghe. At the junction of the road stood Colonel Inglis, Majors +Morton and Paterson, Captain Dunsmuir and R.S.M. Kelly. It all seemed +so usual, save that there was more handshaking and waving of bonnets. +'Cheerio, old chap—best of luck.' Gone, those pals of three years in +camp, trench, billet and shell hole; but we never knew how great a +part of our life they had become. Then in the look in each other's +eyes, in the huskiness of the voice, rather than in the ill-concealed +tear, came the full realisation of the undying spirit of our old +Chamber of Commerce Battalion, and the certainty that the death of the +Battalion had bequeathed to us the <span class="sc">Living Soul of the +Seventeenth</span>."</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_SPIRIT_OF_THE_BATTALION" id="THE_SPIRIT_OF_THE_BATTALION"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_76" id="Page_76">[76]</a></span><br /> + +<h2>III.—AN ODD MUSTER.</h2> + +<h3>THE SPIRIT OF THE BATTALION.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>A corporate body is always a great mystery. Before very long it always +develops a spirit which is something more than the sum of the +individual spirits which compose it. And no man can quite say how it +comes into existence. It may be a greater spirit than that of any +individual. Sometimes it is not so great as that of its members.</p> + +<p>And Battalions are no exception to this rule. Each brings forth a +spirit, and by that spirit the members are henceforth profoundly +influenced. It is not the spirit of the Colonel, or of any particular +member. It is the spirit of the Battalion, something compounded by the +subtle alchemies of the spiritual world out of the individual souls of +officers and privates alike.</p> + +<p>Of the spirit of the 17th H.L.I. it may at once be said that the +outstanding characteristic was high-hearted youth. Most of the members +of the Battalion were young, but the Battalion itself had the +qualities of youth more truly than any of them. It was essentially +gay. It did its work to the accompaniment of a fine hilarity. It could +laugh even on the eve of battle. It could even be uproarious and +exuberant as only the really young can.</p> + +<p>And yet it was very efficient youth. To a man these soldiers took +their work seriously, and because they brought to it a fine quality of +intelligence, the Battalion rose to efficiency with astonishing +rapidity. Many men read eagerly in text books <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_77" id="Page_77">[77]</a></span>about training and +tactics and so forth, and the Battalion from end to end was intolerant +of slovenliness. If it resembled a young man, it was a young man who +meant business.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep076a" id="imagep076a"></a> +<a href="images/imagep076a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep076a.jpg" width="48%" alt="Major The Rev.

Its athletic record speaks for itself, +as does also its military record. But other gifts were lavished upon +it. It knew and loved good literature. It had numbers of trained +singers and musicians. It had dramatic possibilities in it. It knew +much of science and mechanics. That young thing which we call the 17th +H.L.I. in fact loved life, and every side of life. It throbbed with +energy of body, mind, and spirit. It tingled with many sided vitality.</p> + +<p>But above all, it was loveable youth. Few bodies of soldiers have ever +so fully won the affections of towns and country districts. It has +left a mark of its own on Troon, Prees Heath, Wensley, Sheffield, and +Codford. People hurried out to see the column go by, and after it was +gone the hearts of men and women were happier because of it. It came +to have a place in the lives of thousands, and they all thought of it +with affection. As we look back on it now it lives with us as a silver +memory,—something belonging to the world of sunshine and laughter, of +beauty and of courage. The West of Scotland gave of its best to make +up that whole, and while it lived it made a place for itself in the +hearts of the West, which is secure for all time.</p> + +<p>Its career was short, but its immortality is safe.</p> + +<p>It is good to have known it. And though tragedy unspeakable dogged its +footsteps, and broke its life in this world, it lives and will always +live gloriously in the hearts and memories of uncounted men and women +who believe more in humanity, and perhaps even believe more in God +because of the "Seventeenth."</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="CO-OPERATION" id="CO-OPERATION"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78">[78]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>"CO-OPERATION."<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>One of the most outstanding and important things taught in military +text books is the value of striving to obtain "co-operation of all +arms." That is to say, the more sympathy, good comradeship and +understanding that exists between Infantry and Artillery and Cavalry +and Tanks and Air Force people and so on, the more efficient each of +these various arms becomes to carry out its respective duties. +Knowledge of the general tactical principles under which each arm +operates, and personal acquaintanceship with the various officers and +men of such other units, all tend to cement combined operations into +one smooth working whole for the pleasant efficiency of the +combinations concerned and for the better (or worse!) confusion of the +enemy.</p> + +<p>Such co-operation was an ideal often aimed at, but only too seldom +actually accomplished. It required the best of officers and men to +attain that perfect co-operation through understanding, which does not +either fall short of or over reach the mark.</p> + +<p>The following notes written by Major C.E. Lawder, late commanding "A" +Battery of the 168th Brigade, 32nd Division, Royal Field Artillery, +reveals how smoothly things ran in that all important section of +co-operation—that between Infantry and Artillery. In the eyes of +those accustomed to military affairs the following statements will +likely be recognised as perhaps the finest tribute that could be paid +to the 17th H.L.I., for it is not so much an item of direct praise, as +a sure indication of the high quality of efficiency attained by all +ranks of the Battalion, not to mention the pleasant reflection given +of "good humoured gentlemen." The 17th was ever proud to serve with +the gunners of the 168th Brigade, whose fine shooting inspired +confidence and courage:—</p> + +<p>"We first met the famous 17th H.L.I. about New Year, 1916, in the La +Boiselle Sector and much concern as to the pronunciation of the +Scottish names given to the trenches was felt by my Yorkshire +gunners—Sauchiehall Street in particular <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[79]</a></span>defeated them. They wished +the Jocks would use Christian Huddersfield names! All my officers were +much impressed by the great kindness and hospitality shown them by the +17th H.L.I. Messes when liaison Officer with the Infantry or when +going round the front line, which we did constantly, myself as Battery +Commander every third day, and the subalterns daily—all to try and +get suggestions to better strafe the Boche and to show the Jocks that +the gunners wanted to share the pleasures of the front line with our +splendid Infantry.</p> + +<p>"The 17th were commonly known as the Raiders, and most excellent they +were at the job—the Hun had a holy horror of the men from Glasgow. I +well remember a chat after a good raid with the big drummer and a +little corporal of the H.L.I. Both had greatly distinguished +themselves and they asked me not to question them as to details of the +raid, as some very dirty work took place across the way! I expect it +did from the look in their eye and the happy way they handled their +clubs.</p> + +<p>"A great entente cordiale existed between my Battery and the Regiment +and this was referred to by Major-General Budworth, C.R.A., 4th Army, +at the Conference at Flixecourt before July 1st, 1916. All the gunners +at the gun position, then in the Orchard of Martinsart, sent in a +signed petition to be allowed to have the honour of going over the top +with the 17th in their next raid. The 17th returned the compliment by +Major W. Paul and about 20 raiders coming up to the guns from Rest +billets and carrying ammunition for us all night while we were +covering another regiment's raid. I got Major Paul on the firing seat +of one of the guns and some of the men at other guns. They did a lot +of firing but did not enjoy it. They all preferred the Infantry!</p> + +<p>"The 17th were badly cut up on 1st July, 1916, and my men were much +concerned about them. We were all greatly relieved to hear that both +Col. Morton and Major Paul were not among the casualties. Some of the +Officers will doubtless remember a cheery Entente Dinner at +Bouzincourt—Cocktails by our Adjutant, Lobsters and Rouen Ducks are +still fresh in my memory. The Division moved up north to the Hulluch +Sector after the Somme July Battle. We were put to another Division +for a short time, and then our own Infantry turned <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_80" id="Page_80">[80]</a></span>up. It was cheery +meeting our old friends again, but many familiar names and faces were, +sad to say, missing.</p> + +<p>"We had a very safe and nice gun position on a peninsula in a marsh at +Annieguin. This we made into a very smart and show position—lots of +"spit and polish." We had many visitors from the 17th and a lot of +their men used to come and bathe with ours. We fixed up a regular +bathing pool with springboard complete. All this was under cover of +trees and shrubs and quite out of sight of the Hun. I remember two of +the H.L.I. being pulled from or being stabbed in, a sap in No Man's +Land near the famous Brickstacks. We all wanted to have a Raid at once +in revenge. I forget whether it came off. Shooting here was difficult, +as the trenches were so close together, and very difficult to observe +fire. Very different was the supply of ammunition in mid and late 1916 +to early in the year. It was a horrible feeling for a Battery when +asked to shoot and help the poor old Infantry, to have to refuse for +lack of shells. At the Brickstacks we used to often fire—almost +daily—from 150 to 350 rounds Agressive Action on Hun Tender Spots. It +was then that we could retaliate about 50 to 1 if they were +sufficiently "agressed" to fire back. That kept the line—our side +(!)—quiet.</p> + +<p>"We all moved down in October, 1916, to the Ancre show, and a horrible +wet march it was. We separated for a bit, the Battery going to the +Scottish 51st Division. We were then rejoined by our own Infantry at +Beaumont Hamel. I got smashed up and was evacuated home, and just +after, my best Officer, Lieut. H.W. Ainley was burned to death at the +Wagon Line. He was a splendid fellow and very well known to the 17th.</p> + +<p>"Officers and men of both Units were always together and better +feeling between them could not exist. It was a great honour to know +the 17th and we gloried in being the Battery to cover them at the P. +of E. in a raid." [The P. of E. is the Point of Entry, necessitating +very accurate gunlaying, timing, and strict adherence to the barrage +programme.]</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep081a" id="imagep081a"></a> +<a href="images/imagep081a.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep081a.jpg" width="55%" alt=""The Outpost" Staff on Active Service." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen sc" style="margin-top: .2em;">"The Outpost" Staff on Active Service.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +</div> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep081b" id="imagep081b"></a> +<a href="images/imagep081b.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep081b.jpg" width="75%" alt="The Original Editorial Staff." /></a><br /> +<p class="cen" style="margin-top: .2em;"><span class="sc">The Original Editorial Staff.</span> Sgt. +<span class="sc">Ferguson</span>, the late Sgt. <span class="sc">Reith</span> and Pte. +<span class="sc">Hutcheson</span>.<span class="totoi"><a href="#toi">ToList</a></span></p> +<p class="right"><i>To face page 81.</i></p> +</div> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_OUTPOST" id="THE_OUTPOST"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_81" id="Page_81">[81]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>"THE OUTPOST."<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>One of the most outstanding activities of the Battalion was the +production of a periodical which combined a considerable high level of +artistic and literary excellence with a racy narrative of Battalion +news and <i>personalia</i>. This regimental magazine of the 17th H.L.I. was +conceived in 1914, though actually founded early in 1915, and from +that time, throughout all the rigours of work at home—and the +extraordinary difficulties of operations in the Field, <i>The Outpost</i> +was produced, and well produced. Perhaps more than anything, the +standard and record of this production, and its acceptance and +success, both within the unit and with an ever growing general public, +reflects the intellectual level of those who composed the Battalion. +In an appreciation which appeared in <i>The Glasgow News</i> in June, 1919, +on the occasion of the completion of the seventh volume, it is +remarked—"Nursed in its early youth by an editorial staff that was +not without experience, it proved a lusty infant, and as the years +went on it gained in strength.</p> + +<p>"In a sort of valedictory—for the magazine will still be published +annually by the Seventeen Club—the editor sings its praises. He has +every right to pitch them on a high key. He points out that the paper +has always been welcomed and appreciated in many homes (yes, even in +Buckingham Palace), and in training camps, hospitals, rest camps, +lonely dug-outs, and soaking trenches, as well as in the scorching +East and amid Arctic snows. Wherever old members have gone at duty's +call, their magazine has followed, and has interested and cheered with +its articles and illustrations of the lighter side of Army life.</p> + +<p>"Lately a noted writer on military topics, an English officer of high +rank, in giving a most appreciative criticism of <i>The Outpost</i>, +said—'It is only your dour, determined Scotsmen who could manage to +'carry-on' such a paper under the tremendous handicaps of active +service, and the result has been unquestionably the finest literary +and artistic venture in battalion magazines that the war has +produced.'"</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[82]</a></span>In a note concerning those who originated and inspired this war +publication—unique in its continued success—Mr. J.

Early in January, 1915, he called a meeting +at which the journalistic machinery was set in motion. The appointment +of the late Mr. Steven D. Reith as Editor assured the success of the +venture, for under his able and enthusiastic direction, <i>The Outpost</i> +from the first number reached a standard hitherto unapproached in +British military publications. From month to month it supplied a +bright literary and artistic reflection of the chief events in the +life of the Battalion, and the editorial aimed at giving a lead to the +more serious thought of its readers.</p> + +<p>"Throughout its active service career <i>The Outpost</i> was edited by the +following:—The late Mr. Steven D. Reith, Mr. J.L. Hardie, Mr. J. +M'Kechnie, and Mr. W. Glennie. Mr. W. J.F. Hutcheson performed the +duties of Home Editor until November, 1917, when he handed on the +torch to Mr. Frank K.

The winning of the Cup and medals in an event +in which a thousand runners took part was no small feat.</p> + +<p>In the world of "Rugger" the Battalion's career was one triumphal +march, but the end accomplished cannot be summed up in figures, +adverse or the reverse. As for "Soccer" the successive achievements of +the Battalion are recorded in every number of <i>The Outpost</i>. Minor +struggles and conquests are recalled and rejoiced in, but the glory of +carrying off another Divisional Cup will never be forgotten by those +who witnessed the fray. Progress to the final of the event was not +easy, and the final was a particularly hard fought game, and though +the Battalion won, it was felt that equal honours were due to the +vanquished for their good play and sportsmanship.</p> + +<p>In the Boxing World, the name of Corporal George Barrie, will be ever +green in the memory of all Seventeenth men; and the honour brought to +the Battalion by his pupil, Pte. Cushley, in winning two Divisional +Cups for Boxing, can be looked upon as a fitting tribute to Barrie, +the man who played the game even unto death.</p> + +<p>Altogether the Seventeenth has much to be proud of in its athletic +record, and in future days when those of the Battalion sit round and +tell of the things which are theirs, which they won also at great +cost, their prowess in the field will not be among the least; for it +played no insignificant part in the making of the Battalion which, +although disbanded, has remained, both in name and in comradeship, +still the Seventeenth.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_RSM" id="THE_RSM"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[84]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>THE R.S.M.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>Any history of the "Seventeenth" would be incomplete without a passing +reference to James Kelly.</p> + +<p>Chosen at the inception of the Battalion out of a large number of +applicants, and appointed Regimental Sergeant Major, his selection was +amply justified by results.

It has sounded over +the vast spaces of Salisbury Plain, and in France and Flanders, where +all it stands for was so wonderfully justified and upheld, calling up +that wonderful spirit and special discipline. That was the dear old +Seventeenth.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_COMFORTS_COMMITTEE" id="THE_COMFORTS_COMMITTEE"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>THE COMFORTS COMMITTEE.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>On the Battalion embarking for active service, the Battalion Committee +suggested that a Ladies' Committee be formed to carry out the supply +of Comforts which would tend to alleviate the hardships of the battle +line. The members of the Chamber provided funds in a most generous +manner, and the following ladies consented to form a Ladies' +Committee:—Mrs. D.S. Morton (Convener), Lady M'Innes Shaw, Mrs. J.M. +Mitchell, Mrs. R.A. Murray, Mrs. W.J. Paul, Mrs. W.F. Russell, Mrs. +John Reid, Mrs. Albert A. Smith, and Miss G.D. Young.</p> + +<p>Miss G.D. Young acted as Secretary and at a later stage she was +succeeded by Miss M.E. M'Clymont of the staff of the Chamber. The +relatives of the men of the Battalion were notified of the formation +of the Comforts Committee, and were invited to assist in knitting +articles, the wool for which in most cases, was supplied by the +Committee. With this help, and by the industry of the Ladies' +Committee, a very large quantity of shirts, socks, helmets, scarfs, +gloves, etc., was sent abroad.</p> + +<p>The conditions under which the men were fighting was <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_86" id="Page_86">[86]</a></span>always wisely +considered, and for trench dug-outs and cellar billets, a regular +supply of candles was forwarded by the Committee. Christmas presents +were also sent overseas for each man. Provision was made for the time +when the Battalion was out of line for rest, and a supply of weekly +and monthly periodicals was regularly despatched. Needless to say, all +these were very acceptable.</p> + +<p>While thanks are due to all the members of the Ladies' Committee, it +must be placed on record that Mrs. Morton, as Convener, rendered +invaluable services and it is universally recognised that to her +indefatigable labours the men in France owed much.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="MEMORIAL_SERVICE_IN_GLASGOW" id="MEMORIAL_SERVICE_IN_GLASGOW"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>MEMORIAL SERVICE IN GLASGOW.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>A Memorial Service in honour of the officers, non-commissioned +officers and men of the 17th Highland Light Infantry, who fell in the +battle of the Somme and elsewhere was held at Glasgow Cathedral, on +July 8th, 1917. Fully 1,200 people were present, and many soldiers of +all ranks were among the congregation, including a number of wounded +men belonging to the Battalion. The "Dead March in Saul" was played at +the commencement, and the service was most impressive throughout. The +preacher was the Rev. A. Herbert Gray, one time Chaplain of the +Battalion, and the service included the anthem, "What are these?" sung +by the choir.</p> + +<p>Preaching from the text—"We also are compassed about with so great a +cloud of witnesses," Mr. Gray said: "It must not be to mere mourning +that we give ourselves this afternoon. We are met to recall a very +great page in the history of our city and district. In the year 1916, +the hundreds of young men of whom we are thinking dared to die in a +great cause. Young, strong, and free, full of high hopes and great +purpose, in love with life, and in a hundred ways fitted for mastery +in it, they yet consented to deal with death. A hundred other +ambitions had flushed their hearts, but because humanity called they +laid them all aside and went to the great war. No such life <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_87" id="Page_87">[87]</a></span>was their +choice, but because it was their destiny they accepted it with a +smile. No compulsion save that of honour constrained them. They were +recruited simply by conscience and the claims of humanity. They made +one of the finest Battalions that ever left these shores, for some of +the very best of the rising generation were in their ranks. And though +they were not soldiers by profession they proved themselves worthy of +a regiment that has traditions of honour as old as the British Army.</p> + +<p>"Wherefore, here in God's House, we may well first of all rejoice +concerning them, and give thanks to God who has put so great a spirit +into man. Though tears be in our hearts we must not fail to be proud +and thankful—proud because they were our brothers, and thankful +because they finished their course in faith."</p> + +<p>After mentioning the subject of a suitable memorial, and suggesting +that there could be nothing more worthy than the monument of a Britain +turned to God, the preacher concluded with the following impressive +words:—</p> + +<p>"From a hundred lonely graves in that foreign land—from the spots +where they fell, and which now are sacred spots for us—our dead are +asking us when we mean to erect that monument. From trench and shell +hole where death found them, their voices call—young, musical voices, +the voices of boys still in their teens, the voices of martyrs on +life's threshold. Scarce a wind can blow that will not waft to you +these voices. And they ask a better Britain as their monument. They +ask it of you and me. Shall we not go from this place resolved to +build it?"</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="THE_CLUB" id="THE_CLUB"></a><hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>THE CLUB.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>Much has been written, and many discussions have arisen concerning the +good-fellowship and camaraderie which exists among the survivors of +the 17th H.L.I., and able pens will express the high ideals aimed at, +and the strong determination in the minds of those remnants to +establish "The Club" on a basis good and sound. Since the inauguration +of the Battalion <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_88" id="Page_88">[88]</a></span>in September, 1914, there has been a predominating +feeling that such an institution should be made.</p> + +<p>Since the first batch of men arrived in Glasgow from France +arrangements were made which facilitated meeting daily in Craig's +Smoke Room in Gordon Street—the arrangement still holds good. Any +forenoon the boys may be found over their coffee and incidentally +discussing the chance of one day, in the near future, having a "nook" +of their own. The object of having such a place is to afford such +privacy as premises of their own would give, in order to have +uninterrupted meetings, business or pleasure, as the occasion +demanded.</p> + +<p>One great object of the Club is to establish the Benevolent Fund of +the Battalion on a sound financial basis, so as to be in a position to +deal with necessitous cases connected with the 17th Battalion, and it +is thought that this is the only way. It is intended that the Club +should be self-supporting, and assistance is hoped for, morally and +financially, of all those who are interested in the affairs +appertaining to the old Battalion.</p> + +<p>A Committee to carry on the good work has been formed, and includes +Colonel Morton, Major Young, with Messrs. Ritchie, Tilley, Corbett and +M'Andrew from the various Companies, along with Mr. J.W. Arthur on the +Benevolent Fund Committee, as representing the Chamber of Commerce. +This Committee will report progress to a General Meeting, at which it +is hoped to decide what steps may be taken to acquire a Working +Capital. It is possible that a Voluntary Subscription List may be +opened, and it is hoped that the opportunity may be given to help the +worthy project of thus forming a Memorial to those who have fallen in +the great cause.</p> + +<p>No better monument of love and good-fellowship could be thought of +than to give a helping hand in the hour of need, and, to provide +towards a comfortable home for those who are left to enjoy it.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<a name="E_COMPANY" id="E_COMPANY"></a><hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_89" id="Page_89">[89]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>"E" COMPANY.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<p>At the beginning of January, 1915, the 17th H.L.I. had recruited its +full war strength, and the authorities decreed that a Reserve Company +should be formed. This became "E" Company, and was trained as a unit +of the Battalion at Troon, until the 17th left for England. On May +13th, 1915, it was transferred to Gailes, and became a unit of the +19th Reserve Battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Auld being in command. Under +his training, the Company, as well as the Battalion, reached a high +standard of efficiency. After being inspected by Brigadier-General +Cockburn on the 28th September, 1916, a draft of 101 N.C.O.s and men +was sent to join the 17th H.L.I. at Codford. What was left of "E" Coy. +entrained on 26th October, 1915, at Gailes for Ripon. The men were +billeted in excellent huts in the South Camp of that quaint old +cathedral town, where route marches took place and many excursions +were made to many of the interesting towns and places of interest.</p> + +<p>When the 17th embarked for France, some details left behind arrived +from Codford on 15th December, 1915, and brought back many old friends +and highly efficient instructors. Later on Viscount French paid a +visit of inspection to the Ripon area, and the 19th H.L.I. formed part +of the Guard of Honour on that occasion.</p> + +<p>After Ripon came Montrose, and although connected with the Battalion's +history only in a small way, the period from 25th April, 1916, to 12th +June, 1917, is nevertheless well worthy of mention. Montrose with its +lovely beaches and pleasant surroundings, forms one of the happiest +memories of those who found themselves part of the 19th H.L.I. during +its sojourn there.</p> + +<p>1916-17 was a trying time in the life of the Reserve Battalion. +Training was concentrated to an unheard-of degree—a recruit being +allowed nine short weeks before he found himself on Embarkation Leave. +Drafts were required by the dozen, both for the Western Front (for +which the Somme and <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_90" id="Page_90">[90]</a></span>Beaumont Hamel Offensives were chiefly +responsible) and for the Eastern Front. Then there was the trying +coastguard work with its trench-digging excursions to Lunan Bay—work +which probably helped to avert a danger not so remote as we then +imagined.</p> + +<p>"E" Company had a fair share of all these worries, and its able +Commander, Captain F.D. Morton, was kept busy choosing drafts, +arranging programmes, and working out tactical schemes.</p> + +<p>Major W.H. Anderson, who afterwards became Lieut.-Colonel, and was +awarded the V.C. after his lamented death, did much for the good of +the Battalion; and the Soldiers' Home, run by Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. +Auld, proved of great advantage to the men. This period marked the +extinction of "E" Company, as representing the 17th. Draft after draft +had robbed it of its original appearance, and when on 1st September, +1916, the 19th became the 78th Training Reserve Battalion, it lost all +semblance of its former self, and may be said to have had an +inglorious end to a short but useful life.</p> + +<div class="img"><a name="imagep090" id="imagep090"></a> +<a href="images/imagep090.jpg"> +<img border="0" src="images/imagep090.jpg" width="55%" alt="Lieut.-Colonel W.

Maj. (A. Lt.-Col.) <span class="sc">William Herbert Anderson</span>,<br /> +late H.L.I.</p> + +<p>"For most conspicuous bravery, determination, and gallant +leading of his command. The enemy attacked on the right of the +Battalion frontage, and succeeded in penetrating the wood held +by our men. Owing to successive lines of the enemy <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_92" id="Page_92">[92]</a></span>following +on closely there was the gravest danger that the flank of the +whole position would be turned. Grasping the seriousness of +the situation, Colonel Anderson made his way across the open +in full view of the enemy now holding the wood on the right, +and after much effort succeeded in gathering the remainder of +the two right companies. He personally led the counter attack, +and drove the enemy from the wood, capturing 12 machine guns +and 70 prisoners, and restoring the original line. His conduct +in leading the charge was quite fearless, and his most +splendid example was the means of rallying and inspiring the +men during a most critical hour.</p> + +<p>"Later on in the same day the enemy had penetrated to within +300 yards of the village, and were holding a timber yard in +force. Colonel Anderson re-organised his men after they had +been driven in, and brought them forward to a position of +readiness for a counter-attack. He led the attack in person, +and throughout showed the utmost disregard for his own safety. +The counter-attack drove the enemy from his position, but +resulted in this very gallant officer losing his life. He died +fighting within the enemy's lines, setting a magnificent +example to all who were privileged to serve under him."</p> + +<p>Among the first to join the 17th H.L.I. was Captain W.H. +Anderson, a man widely known and highly respected in Glasgow +social and business circles. He was with the Battalion during +most of its training at Gailes and Troon, and before embarking +for Service in France was gazetted as Major in the 19th H.L.I. +He served with the same rank in the East Surreys till +invalided home in March, 1917. On his return to France he was +transferred to an H.L.I. Battalion, becoming Lieut.-Colonel, +and shortly afterwards was killed in an attack at the head of +his men of the 12th H.L.I. as recorded above.</p></div> + +<br /> + +<div class="block2"><p class="cen">Sergeant <span class="sc">James Y. Turnbull</span>, V.C.</p> + +<p>It has been said of James Turnbull that he began to win his +V.C. at Troon. He was a born leader, and always a fearless +champion of fairplay. He towered above the average man in +strength of character as he did in stature, and he was always +the same unassuming and genial "Jimmy." He was a fitting +embodiment of the ideals of the Seventeenth. A big man for a +big occasion—and the big occasion came along on the 1st of +July, 1916.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_93" id="Page_93">[93]</a></span>The position of the Battalion was that of a wedge driven +against the iron of impregnability, and the driving force +suddenly withdrawn. At the thin end of the wedge Sergeant +Turnbull, with a handful of men, performed prodigies of +valour. From three sides enemy machine guns swept the +position, snipers took deadly toll, and bombing attacks were +constantly launched. Exposure meant almost certain death. The +position was not only desperate; it was hopeless. Yet it was +necessary to hold on till nightfall. It was a <i>man's</i> job, and +Turnbull filled the bill. He shouldered the responsibility as +only a strong man could; and he organised the defence. He had +to take countless risks, and was always where the fighting was +fiercest. He was the indomitable leader and inspiring example. +Wounded, he carried on till his last risk was taken, and he +met a soldier's death towards the end of that fateful summer +day.</p> + +<p>Of a band of heroes he was the beloved leader and super-hero.</p> +</div> + +<br /> +<a name="HONOURS_GAINED_OFFICERS" id="HONOURS_GAINED_OFFICERS"></a><hr style="width: 15%;" /> +<br /> + +<h3>Honours Gained by Officers and others<br /> while Serving with the +Battalion.<span class="totoc"><a href="#toc">ToC</a></span></h3> +<br /> + +<div class="block2"> + +<p>Extract from <i>The London Gazette</i>, dated 3/6/16.</p> + +<p>"To be additional member of the Third Class or Companion of +the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint +George.</p> + +<p class="cen">"Lieut.-Colonel D.S.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/20136-h/images/crest1.jpg b/20136-h/images/crest1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644
