| Details |
"The Three Musketeers" of Princess Patricia's Own (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) firing from a mound with a fine view of the German first line trenches. The men stayed in position for hours opening up brisk fire on the unsuspecting enemy, killing nine or ten German soldiers. They kept the enemy at bay until nightfall after which they retired to the trenches -the only casualty being a slight bullet wound to the finger of one. Note the men in the waterlogged trench making attempts to drain it.
