el 30-Oct-2007 | As promised, a sort of explanation of the heavy casualties suffered between the 11th and14th October.
On those days, the battalion was in the front line for the first Battle of Passchendaele. A very significant feature of the battle was the rain. Torrential rain fell on a battlefield where all the field drainage system had been destroyed in the fighting.

| Battle Of Menin Road, 20th September 1917 | | This was a major offensive in the 3rd battle of Ypres. The attack started at 5.40 A.M. Harry's battalion were in the second wave of troops supporting the attack. The careful planning of General Plumer, that had ensured success at Messines Ridge two months earlier, delivered some initial success this time.
This is now part of the dreadful Passchendaele experience - stalemate in the Flanders mud [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 21-Sep-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General

| Error in Letter dating - apologies to all | | The letter reported as 9th October 1917 was more likely to have been written today, 27th October 1917. I will amend the date accordingly in a few days.
The actual letter was undated. It was written after a day on the range and I could only find one possible day for that in the Battalion's War Diary. I missed a second small entry on 27th October.
Reading the letter, this date is more likely to [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 27-Oct-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General

| All change for Harry's Battalion. | | On 23 October 1917, orders were received to prepare to move to an unknown destination.

On 6th November the Division, including the 9th Battalion York & Lancaster Regiment entrained for the lengthy move by rail to Italy.

| Passchendaele - the final score. | | I would like to copy this blunt summary of the Passchendaele offensive.
"On 26 October the Canadians set out for their ?Road to Passiondale? in the pouring rain. Five days later General Plumer gets even more troops at his disposal. Meanwhile the name of the village has acquired mythical proportions: ?Passion-dale?, ?the valley of suffering?. On 6 November the Canadians manage to occupy the [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 11-Nov-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General

| 1st October - more front line action for Harry | | The battalion war Diary for today, 1st October 1917 makes for more chilling reading.
The trenches were bombarded at 5 a.m. and again at 12.30 p.m. All day aeroplanes fired on the trenches and at 6.30 p.m. another bombardment started. At 7 p.m. an enemy attack was imminent, prevented by an artillery barrage. "After this, the night was quiet."

| 3 days in the Front Line, Heavy Casualties | | The Batallion War Diary merely records the casualties for the three days from the 11th -14 October 1917. There is absolutely no account of any action or of the events of those days.
The casualties were heavy. Around 10%of the notional strength were killed or wounded - over 4 times the losses of the 30th September - 1st October when the War Diary gave a relatively detailed account of the action. [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 15-Oct-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General

| Passchendaele 31st July 1917 | | After the success of Messines, the troops were in the "hold" phase of the "bite and hold" strategy. From research, there is a strong opinion that it would have been better to continue with the momentum from that first attack and to press on while the Germans were in disarray, with their morale badly dented.
However, that was not the strategy adopted. Consequently, in the two week pause, the [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 09-Aug-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en General
