| Note.—The Division was not in the front line during the Battle of Cambrai, 8th-9th October, 1918, but other divisions of the VI. Corps were engaged and part at least of the 62nd may have been within the official boundaries. | ||
66th (East Lancashire) Division. Second Line.

| The First Battles of the Somme, 1918. | Battle of St. Quentin. | 21-23 March, 1918. |

| Para. 47 of the despatch shows that the 66th was in the heavy fighting, 28th-31st March, in the Avre and Luce valleys, when they made counter-attacks; it is not said they were fighting on 4th April. The Official List makes no reference to the fighting 28th-31st March in this neighbourhood. | ||

| The map, p. 294, Messrs. Dent’s edition, shows the 66th in support to the north-east of Le Cateau. It would thus be within the official boundary. | ||
| In regard to the Battle of the Beaurevoir Line, 3rd-5th October, the divisions of the XIII. Corps in the front line were the 25th and 50th. The 66th was in reserve and it is not clear that it was within the official limits, although certainly close thereto. | ||
