The War Diary entry for the 16th July 1916 records. BAZENTIN-LE-PETIT. Same as preceding days. Rations arrived safely which they had not done before and men got food and rum and became a little less exhausted. At 3.00pm 2nd Lt. LEE and 1 platoon went to forward railway line behind 2nd Lt. SARGEANT in support of the 1st EAST YORKSHIRE REGT. They endeavoured to find 2nd Lt. SARGEANT’S party but failed. At 5.30pm Captain BENT with “D” and “B” Companies went to BAZENTIN-LE-PETIT village to relieve 2 Companies of the 98th Infantry Brigade. Orders received that we would be relieved by 64th Infantry Brigade. Relief was very slow owing to the great mixing up of units. On the 16th/17th July the last party relieved and reached bivouacs near FRICOURT at 11.00am 17th July. Casualties in the Battalion during operations 14th/17th July, 18 officers and 394 other ranks.
