From the history.....
"The whole of the 9th June was spent in readjustment of the line and in digging new trenches. This necessitated all four companies withdraeing and siting a new series of field works between Oostaverne Wood and Oostaverne Village; this work was carried out under considerable shell fire, but the trenches were sufficiently deep by daylight on the 10th to hold troops and afford cover".
On the evening of the 10th the battalion was moved to support the 7th Loyals but in the process they were caught in a German bombardment. "D" Company suffered heavily with one shell alone killing nine men.
