The Battalion was based in the Belgium village of Hooge as part of the 18th(Eastern) Division who were tasked with taking Glencorse Wood. The assault began at around 0500 on 10th, with the 7th's objective being Inverness Copse. They advanced after an artillery barrage to find there were loose wires in front of objective which remained uncut. Behind this the Germans had strongly defended shell holes which had also been left untouched by the barrage. The Battalion eventually took the copse but with casualties of 280, including Private Sandles. The Germans counter attacked later that day, isolating the 18th Division and retaking most of the wood. |
