| Details |
South-east of Ypres, a German trench-building party is surprised by British gunfire. The trench builders had been working under cover of the night mist and were unaware of their close proximity to the rapidly constructed British position. As the early morning became lighter, the British open fire and put a halt to the German construction work.
