ENTRY FROM THE WAR DIARY OF THE 1ST BN KING'S LIVERPOOL REGIMENT;
1st June 1916
VIMY RIDGE
Quiet morning. Heavy shelling all afternoon increasing in violence until it died away about midnight after the attack. After a bombardment of the enemy line, which left the section we were to attack very much as it was before, three bombing parties attacked up ERSATZ ALLEY, B. HARTUNG and B. GOBRON. The intention was that these parties should establish themselves in the enemy line and each bomb to the left. After they had cleared the trench and had got touch with each other, they were to dig in and consolidate. In the event of their being successful a forth party was ready at the top of B. TANGHOT to get into communication with them at MOMBER CRATER. Reserve parties were ready to support the attack and advance dumps of bombs and R.E. Stores were established. The party on the right under Lt. Jamieson came under a shell barrage on their way up the communication trench and were wiped out without being able to close with the enemy. Their supporting party had no better luck. The centre party under Lt. Head effected an entrance into the hostile trench, and though subjected to a sever fire, remained there for about three quarters of an hour. Finally they were ordered to withdraw as the two parties on their flanks had been unsuccessful. This they did slowly and in good order. The left party under Lt. Hewson found themselves enfiladed by machine gun fire. They made several attempts and lost heavily and finally were ordered to abandon the enterprise. There were about 80 casualties including the Adjutant, Lt. Thomson, 2/Lt. Hewson and 2/Lt. Head all wounded.
