[50] Commanded by Lieut.-General Sir H. Wilson.
[51] Commanded by General Sir C. Monro.
[52] In September the artillery were reorganised on a basis of 6 guns per battery, the 53rd Brigade being broken up for this purpose. The Divisional Artillery then consisted of the 50th, 51st, and 52nd Brigades.
[53] Commanded by Lieut.-General Pulteney.
[54] The gloves were occasionally used, the jackets never.
[55] On this occasion the 47th Divisional Artillery and two brigades of the 1st Divisional Artillery supported the attack under the direct command of the C.R.A. 47th Division. Brig.-General Tudor acted as C.R.A. to General Furse.
[56] A “Chinese Attack” was not an attack; but the artillery put down the same sort of bombardment that was the usual prelude to an advance, moving by lifts over the enemy’s system and then suddenly coming back to his front line, and so catching his infantry when they were manning the trenches to repel the expected assault.
[57] Consisting of Bavarians of the 6th Bavarian Reserve Division.
[58] This was denied by the artillery, who suggested that the shells complained of were fired by the enemy; but many British fuses were found in the front trenches.
[59] These were Saxons of the 40th Division, which had relieved the Bavarians.
