There is an interesting account of the events leading up to the 25th September and the great loss of lives suffered on that particular morning on the following link: Click Here

Charles Henry Bolt's brother John Gordon Bolt also saw action in WW1 but survived despite a bullet hitting him which his wallet appeared to stop or deflect. Amongst the bundle of photographs, postcards and letters was this photo of his brother Charles and as you can see there is damage caused by the bullet. This incident must have happened sometime after 23rd December 1917 as there is a Christmas postcard with that date.
