PREFACE
N the formation of the 39th (Deptford) Divisional Artillery, and again just preparatory

to proceedingto France, SirW. A. Wayland,

then Mayor of Deptford, requested, on behalf of the Borough Council, that if possible a record of the service of the Deptford Division might be kept, so that after the war such record could be placed amongst the archives in the Town Hall, Deptford. Many locally raised units and formations were recruited throughout the British Empire similar to the formation of the Deptford Artillery, and possibly some can show a
better war record than that briefly described in this book,

but Deptford can well be proud of its achievement in producing a sufficient number of volunteers to form a
complete Divisional Artillery in addition to a Heavy

Artillery

Battery

and large numbers of

recruits

for

local Territorial

regiments.

In compiling this brief account of the services of the 39th Divisional Artillery, it has been borne in mind that,
for the book to be within the reach of the men who served

in the Division, the cost of production and printing must be kept to a minimum. References to maps and the reproduction of maps have been purposely omitted with this object in view, as also the specific acts of gallantry for which the many honours
and awards were made.

Therefore, in fulfilment of the request of Lt.-Col. Sir William Wayland, J.P., this brief account of the services

of the 39th (Deptford) Divisional Artillery is written.

FOREWORD
(HE Hour and the Man ! Historians find a fascina-

tion in pointing to casesin which, with the striking of the Hour, the Man has stepped forth, prepared to bear upon his broad shoulders the burden of responsibility which events are shaping. This story of the 39th Divisional Artillery concerns the Hour, the Manand then the Other Men ! To Deptford belongs the honour of giving birth to the 39th Divisional Artillery. The attendant circumstances are sufficiently interesting-almost unique-to justify their relation in detail. First, the Hour ! It was the month of May, 1915. The War Office was clamouring for men : ordinary methods of recruiting were proving inadequate to supply our nation's need, and conscription had not yet been adopted.
The situation on the battle-fronts at the moment was

such as to try our fortitude. In April hopes had been entertained that something more than a dent would be made in the opposing line, and that both we and the French would have noteworthy successes to chronicle. This was the moment chosen by the enemy to launch two offensives, that which we had to meet being in the Ypres Salient, and developing into the Second Battle of Ypres. As a historian of the war has pointed out, our troops fought against heavy odds. " A crushing artillery preponderance and the use of poison gas were more deadly

assetsthan any weight of numbers. For days our fate hung in the balance, dispositions grew chaotic in the fog of war, and it
became a soldiers' battle, like Malplaquet and Albuera, where

rules and text-books were forgotten, and we won by the sheer fighting quality of our men." To add to our difficulties the operations at Gallipoli were proving costly in the extreme. It was at this crisis that Lord Kitchener approachedamong many other heads of municipalities-the Mayor of Deptford, Councillor W. A.Wayland, J.P. (as he then was: the Sir William of later days), with a request that he would undertake to raise a unit. We find " The Kentish Mercury " recording that at a meeting of the Deptford Borough Council on May 18th, 1915, the Mayor announced that he " had been asked by Lord Kitchener to do something more for recruiting, by forming either an infantry battalion or an artillery brigade. He had

replied that he would usehis bestendeavours, and he appealed

for the whole-hearted support of the Council in that direction."

The Council-we learn from the same source-approved a

reply expressing confidence that Deptford," recognising the gravityof the call,"would do all in its power to raise a unit in
record time.

The Hour had struck : the Man had come forward.

Recruiting offices were opened at the Town Hall, and there was a responsewhich at times must have proved embarrassing to those engagedin the work. From Deptford, Brockley and New Cross they came : recruits of an excellent stamp : mechanics, shopmen, clerks and labourers, for the most part, of ages varying from 19 to 38. The neighbouring borough of Greenwich sent a goodly number of recruits, every whit as good as the men of Deptford. In six and a half days the fine total of 750 men had been attested ! The pledge which the Mayor had

given on behalf of Deptford was nobly fulfilled : in six daysrecord time !-a Brigade was in being, and there was a large
surplus of recruits who could not at the moment be detailed to

a unit. In the rush of recruits during the first two or three days the Mayor, with the assistance of only one sergeant(one of
experienceand tact, be it said) was responsible for the mainten-

ance of good order and discipline. It speaksvolumesfor all parties that the results were so satisfactory. Major E. R. Phillips, R.A., was gazettedto the command

of the first Brigadeformed-the 174th (Deptford)Brigade,

Royal Field Artillery. The disused Thames Ironworks, in

Blackheath Road,were taken over as headquarters, and no

little ingenuity was exercised in adapting them to the business in hand. Energyand goodwill onceagainovercame difficulties which might well have beenthought insurmountable,and in a

writer stated) " have already been suppliedwith uniform. It

is hoped that the 179th will be clothed in the course of next

week." This was only a fortnight after the date of the town's
meeting, and a good deal of firmness and an even greater measure of persuasive power must have been exercised by the

Mayor of Deptford in inducing clothing contractorsto deliver

uniforms when their factories were working at such high pressure. It was done, however, and the hope expressedas to the 179th Brigade was also fulfilled. Colonel D. Fulton, R.A., was appointed to the command of the 179th, and as there was again a surplus of recruits we find the Mayor, in " The Kentish Mercury " of June 18th, writing : " Your readers, I am sure, will be pleased to hear that the Secretary of State for War has placed in my hands the formation of a Divisional Ammunition Column, and I am hoping that I shall receive the enthusiastic support of the whole of Deptford in my endeavour to make another record for recruiting. We formed our 174th and 179th Brigades in a shorter time than any other borough." Once again the manhood of Deptford responded, and the Column quickly came into being. Lieut.Col. A. E. S. Griffin was gazetted to the command. The training of the 174th Brigade had so far progressedby June 24th-less than a month after it was openedfor recruiting -that it could be inspected by Major-General Sir Francis Lloyd, commanding the London District. There were 760 of all ranks on parade, and their appearancejustified the praise which they received. On July 15th Sir Francis Lloyd inspected 750 of the 179th Brigade, and again passed a warm encomium.
A further success was chronicled when, on July 23rd, 1915,

the Mayor of Deptford wrote to the local Press : "I am pleased to inform you that we have recruited sufficient men for our 39th (Deptford) Divisional Ammunition Column, and we have thus completed the 174th and the 179th (Deptford) Brigades, R.F.A.-a total of 2,200 men in all. Feeling confident that Deptford men can still do better, I have consented to raise another Gun Brigade, which will be called the 184th (Deptford) Brigade, R.F.A., to give me the same enthusiastic support as

they have givenmein filling up the ranks of the other brigades." Again was confidence justified, and by August 5th of that year a total of no fewer than 2,500recruits wereraised. When, on August 21, Sir Francis Lloyd carried out anotherinspection -in Deptford Park-the 184th Brigade (Lieut.-Col. C. M.
Rudkin in command) and the 39th D.A.C. were on parade. A little later the 186th (Howitzer) Brigade was formed, Col. R. Oakes, R.A., being posted to the command.

Some notes on the professional side of the preliminary training will doubtless be read with interest :" Blackheath, with its beautiful turf in excellent condition,

was adopted as the preliminary training ground, and marching

and physical exercises were commencedwith comparatively few instructors to impart the necessaryinstruction ; but
amongst the recruits were a few ex-Army men who were able to fill the gaps and keep everyone on the move.

thosewho havehad to endeavour to fathom the mysteriesof a Pay and MessBook, and all the vouchersrelating thereto, can

imagine what difficulties these youngsters were confronted with. The paying of billeting money to the various householderswas a long, dreary task, and if successful in completing the duty without being out of pocket onewas extremelylucky.
There were occasions when recruits failed to answer their

names at morning roll call, and the most successful method of

dealingwith such offenders wasto regardthe men asabsentfor that day, which resultednot only in the lossof a day's pay to the man, but also the lossof a day's billeting moneyto his worthy
landlady. " By adopting these measuresthe mothers of Deptford and district soon made it their duty to see that the lads in khaki

billeted with them did leave their lodgings to attend

parades as ordered, and the recurrence of cases of absence were
few and far between."

Referencehas been made to the whole-heartedway in which the Mayor of Deptford threw himself into the task of recruiting the detailed work in connection with which was admirably performed by Major Wilkinson. Clothing and equipment, too, presented innumerable difficulties. An even bigger job was to find horses, but before the Division left his Worship had got together more than 2,000 horses ! Unsuitable premises had been transformed into suitable ones for temporary barracks. In one other direction, too, the Mayor's untiring energy found an outlet. The War Office refusing, or being unable, to help, on him fell the responsibility of finding the requisite numberobviously a very large one-of junior officers. He scoured the country to get them-and got them of the right type ! A department in which his Worship received splendid backing was the keeping of the accounts. This work was undertaken by the Borough Accountant of Deptford (Mr. T. E. Charles), which is equivalent to saying that it was done as well as it could possibly be done. When the accounts were presented to the Paymaster-General that official spoke in highly complimentary terms of the way in which they had been kept. Another who gave very valuable assistance in time of difficulty was Mr. A. LI. C. Fell, the manager of the London County Council tramways, who, when the Mayor was in a quandary as to stabling the horses of the 137th (Heavy) Battery, R.G.A., placed the tramway stables in Evelyn Street at his disposal, and helped in every possible way. Matter for congratulation is to be found in the splendid behaviour of the men during the months of their stay in the neighbourhood. Young soldiers of the very best character sometimes find the period of preliminary training monotonous, and get a little out of hand, but practically nothing of the sort

TRAINING

PERIOD

As soon as the Divisional Artillery was clothed and able to carry out dismounted drills, an inspection was made by Lt.-Gen. Sir Francis Lloyd at Blackheath,which was attended by all Batteriesand Ammunition Columns. On the conclusion of the march past, GeneralLloyd complimentedall ranks on the smart and very creditableturn-out and movementshe had
seen.

By this time a few horses had arrived for eachunit, alsoa

few ammunition wagons, which enabled riding and driving to be commenced,despite the fact that the majority of the animals were suffering from ringworm.
Guns and howitzers were the real need, the first instal-

ment received in August being two 18 pdrs.;

and, with the aid of

dummy guns and ammunition wagons,gunners were instructed in the elementary details of gun drill. But " with or without drag-ropes prepare to advance " becomes, even to the most patriotic volunteer, pathetically monotonous, although on the other hand " prepare to mount " for gunners brought a vision

of " trotting into action." It was a long, long while, however,

before this vision was fulfilled.

The men werevery patient under this monotony,but with thespirit of patriotism predominant, and everyman a volunteer, such trials and troublesas gun drill with wagonsor dummy guns, marching on Blackheath,the constant putting together of harness by one squad, and pulling it to piecesagain by the next, seemed nothing so long asone was doing what was considered necessaryto fit himself for the battlefield. All worked

with a will, and many a smart young boy soonbecame a Bom-

bardier on probation, and in a very short space of time Corporal or even Sergeant-a position which the " old contemptibles" could seldomreachwithout yearsof hard study and grind. But this was war time, and very few of the " contemptibles "

were available, so the young probationary non-comofficers worked and studied to do in a few months

missioned

what generally took years for the regulars to do, and the success

achieved in this respect alone was apparent by the lack of

regular N.C.O.'s in the whole of the Divisional Artillery, in all
but the senior ranks.

There was no shortage of talent amongst the recruits.

Signallers, telephonists, shoeing-smiths, saddlers, farriers and fitters were practically all found from within the Division, sent on courses to be tested, and passed as qualified. By the end of September units were ready to receive the remainder of equipment and remounts, and with the few guns in possession of each Brigade, moved into the Aldershot Command on 1st October, 1915. to settle down to training in real earnest, occupying barracks and hutments as organised
units for the first time.

The training grounds and riding schools of Aldershot district soon began to reverberate with orders and commands in

the dialect that can only pertain to men of Deptford. From dawn to dusk they were hard at it learning the lessons as prescribed in that wonderful book, " Field Artillery
Training," and also many lessons not so prescribed, but obtained from the book of experience.

Early in November rumours of another move were heard,

which later on were confirmed, and the whole Divisional

Artillery marched to MILFORD CAMP, near Godalming, to complete training and concentrate with the infantry they would later on be called upon to support in defence of their
country.

To have the confidence of the infantry is one of the ambitions of all Gunners, and the Deptford Gunners had no mean task in this respect, as the Infantry were not Deptford lads, but entire strangers drawn from all parts of Great Britain ; but a perfect understanding was obtained at the time of concentration at Milford which remained throughout the whole war. The march to Milf ord Camp. What a day ! Jibbing horses and teams, new harness temporarily fitted, recruit drivers, the

majority of whomhad neverdriven in a teambefore,and many

other troubles occurred throughout the whole march, but the Divisional Artillery eventually did arrive at Camp, the last

detachmentsof the D.A.C. arriving about 2 a.m. The many lessons taught during that day's march were never forgotten, and irksome as the march was, all ranks cheerfully lasted the

nate enough to leave camp, celebrated the festive season in the usual Army way. Milford Camp is not particularly pleasant at any time, and it was decidedly cold and wet in the winter of 1915-16. Gun drill, tactical exercisesand full mounted parades in the wet and mud did not add to the joys of camp life, but all ranks felt that the time for leaving England was drawing near, so why worry
about such trifles.

The conditioning of horses and mules of the Ammunition

Columnswas carried out daily, the " loads" on most days

consisting of mud and manure which blocked the entrances to

the horsesheltersand stables,left by predecessors.

After very determined efforts the columns succeeded in

removing this " legacy,"with morebenefits than " beingable

" the conditioning of animals."

Still, with all the seemingly unsurmountableobstacles and difficulties, the gunnersmadeprogress, and towards the end of

January,1916, Brigades in turn proceeded to LarkhiUArtillery Ranges to be tested as to their abilities in hitting dummy
targets and other objectives,before proceeding -to one of the

theatres of war to take on targets of a more realistic nature. The shooting and manoeuvres at Larkhill were good, all Brigades acquitting themselveswith credit, and the 39th Divisional Artillery was pronouncedby the inspecting officers
as

" fit for service overseas."

going " somewhere."

Would it be France, Egypt, or where ?

But ere long all knew, and the departure from Milford will ever be remembered. Entraining at Godalming in the frost and snow commenced on the evening of 2nd March, 1916battery after battery, column after column departing at intervals each day until 8th March, when the last portion of the D.A.C. marched away, bidding farewell to the little tin
huts which had sheltered them for a few months.

From the day the first recruit joined to the day of departure for France was about nine months, which, though perhaps

not a record in itself, was certainly a determined effort on the part of all ranks to fit themselves in the shortest possible time to bear their part in the World War as representing the district
of Deptford.

The journey from Milford to the concentration area in France had its mishaps. Two men of the Ammunition Column of 174th Brigade were perhaps the most unfortunate by sustaining fractured legs, caused through a runaway team and
wagon when about to entrain at Milford.

The 184th Brigade proceeded to STEENWERCK on 12th March, and were attached to 34th Divisional Artillery.
On March 21st instructions to form three Medium Trench

Mortar Batteries arrived, these to be designated " X/39," ' Y/39 " and " Z/39 " Trench Mortar Batteries. Personnel required to form these new batteries were obtained from the Brigades and Columns of the Divisional Artillery. The Brigades attached to the 8th Divisional Artillery were withdrawn from the line on 23rd March and joined their wagon
lines.

The 184th Brigade, R.F.A., remained attached to 34th Divisional Artillery until 24th March Brig.-Gen. R. W. Fuller, D.S.O., R.A., relinquished command of the 39th Divisional Artillery on 24th March, and was succeededby Brig.-Gen. G. Gilson, D.S.O., from the Cavalry Corps. On the 25th of March all Brigades of the Divisional Artillery were withdrawn from the forward zone and marched to the ST. VENANT area on conclusion of the first period of
attachment for instruction.

During June, 1916,shootingsimilar to that carried out in May took place. Artillery preparationand support weregiven to the infantry in connectionwith a few successful raids against the enemy'strenchesand other minor operations. A larger operation wascarried out by the Division against
a portion of the enemy's trenches known as the BOAR'S HEAD

on 30th June. The preliminary bombardmentand wire-cutting by the artillery commenced on the afternoonof 29th, and was
reported as very effective.

The final bombardmentcommenced shortly before3 a.m. on the 30th, the Infantry goingover the top just after 3 o'clock,
the guns lifting their fire and putting down an intense barrage in strong support. The enemy's support line which proved extremely difficult, was not reached by the Infantry, the German retaliation being most violent, even to the shelling of their own support trenches where we were endeavouring to gain a foothold. The trenches penetrated were reported full of German casualties caused by our bombardment, over 20,000 rounds being fired by the guns during the operation. Eventually our Infantry evacuated the captured German trenches, and by about 7 o'clock the guns ceasedfiring. On 8th July H.Q. Divisional Artillery moved to BETHUNE. During July several bombardments of the German trenches took place, in addition to the normal daily shoots previously
planned.

A few batteries changed their gun positions during the month, in order to more effectively carry out special shoots,
and towards the end of the month four batteries had been with-

drawn from action to rest and for training.

The four months spent in this quiet sector were most instructive to all ranks, although no operations on a very large
scale were undertaken.

In addition to the daily shooting, gun drill, laying and fuze setting took place, also building and improvements to gun positions. In the wagon lines considerable work was carried out to

improve the conditionsboth for men and horses. Early in August the Divisional Artillery wererelieved,and by the 10th all batteries werein the rest area.
On the llth August the Division commenced its march to the south, concentrating at St. Michel, near St. Pol, for Brigade and Divisional training.

THE

SOMME

At last the Divisional Artillery were to join in the great struggle taking place on the SOMME, the sector occupied being just north of the RIVER ANCRE, almost opposite the German stronghold of BEAUMONT-HAMEL.

BEAUMONT-HAMEL wasvery strongly held and fortified by the enemy,and up till now had successfully beatenoff every attack madeon its defences,although thousandsof shellshad beenfired into it from the first day of the battle.
On September 1st an attack was made on the German

trenchesopposite,to assista larger attack being made on the south of the river. The guns of the Divisional Artillery fired

from5 o'clock until mid-day, theGerman wirebeing well cut and

the bombardmentvery effective. The batteries suffered few casualties, although they camein for a large amount of retaliation from the enemy'sguns.

During September minor operations were undertaken against the enemy's trench system on the divisional front, also harassing fire on all the German communications. On the 26th September the Division co-operated in the
successful attack on THIEPVAL, and on the 28th in the attack

on another German stronghold called the SCHWABEN REDOUBT. In this latter operation our infantry penetrated further into the enemy's lines than was arranged, but difficult as it was, owing to bad light and restricted observation, the guns were very skilfully handled with accuracy and rapidity, resulting in administering severe punishment to the enemy. The successof this operation reflected great credit on the artillery observing officers and men serving the guns. On the 29th the Germans heavily counter-attacked, regaining a part of the SCHWABEN, and in our attack on the 30th he was partially turned out again with considerable losses caused by gun fire. The SCHWABEN was about the highest point the
Germans retained in this area, and if it were lost the British

would gain valuable observation of the enemy's lines, which

was almost certain to affect future operations in the SOMME

country. So the stout resistance offered by the Germans to every attack made on the SCHWABEN was quite anticipated. During all the operations of September the Trench Mortars rendered invaluable assistanceby engaging many strong points
in the German front and support trenches, but the mortars came

in for a great deal of enemy retaliation and suffered in consequence.

The wagon lines of the batteries and sections of the D.A.C. were very heavily worked during the month in keeping up the necessary supply of ammunition. Their hours were exceptionally long, as, for reasonsof lack of water in the forward area, and less likelihood of casualties from the enemy long range gunsthe whole countryside being one mass of horse lines-only a portion of the wagons and horseswere kept in the forward area within about five miles of the guns, the remainder being sent
back over fifteen miles to the rear.

Early in Octoberseveralbatteriesmovedto new gun positions in support of the successful attack on a part of STUFF
TRENCH.

The Trench Mortars, strongly reinforced, carried out

special operationsand wire cutting in the vicinity of BEAUMONT-HAMEL on the 9th and 10th, firing over 3,000 rounds

observed from the observation posts. Added to this, the
weather conditions made such observation as was possible most

difficult, it being almostimpossible for aeroplanes to renderany assistance. The accuracy of the artillery fire again reflected very creditably on the F.O.O'sand gun detachments.
Two abortive counter-attacks were made by the enemy on the 15th, and in responseto S.O.S. signals of the Infantry, the

Divisional Artillery barragefire effectually caught the enemy's

attacking troops, inflicting very heavy losses. A similar counter-attack by the enemy on the 21st proved equally unsuccessful,and over 100 prisoners were taken. The complete capture of STUFF TRENCH was effected on the 21st, and, observation being better than before, masses of the enemy were heavily shelled, causing many casualties. By the last week in October the weather became so deplorable that operations had to be continually postponed.

The battle casualtiesduring the month were not heavy, but owing to the wet weatherand intensecold at night many
casesof sickness, including eleven officers, had to be evacuated
to the Base.

As in September, the supply of ammunition proved a very difficult operation. All known routes taken by our wagonsat night wereintermittently shelledby the enemy,and the tracks werepitted with shellholes,makingit most unpleasant.

It waseventuallydecided to supply ammunition by day, movingacross opencountryin smallparties. This plan proved
a great success, but the horsesbeganto showsignsof the hard

BEAUMONT-HAMEL, which the Germans considered almost

impregnable, having stronglyresistedattacksextending over

the last four months, and many other villages near by, were completely captured with hundredsof prisoners. On the night of the 19th Novemberthe Divisional Artillery were withdrawn from action, having beencontinuouslyin the
line since August. The supply of ammunition for the operations in November

could no longer be maintained by using wagons,as the going

was too heavy and the distances too long. By means of improvised pack-saddles, eight rounds of 18 pdr. or four rounds of 4.5 inch howitzer ammunition were carried per animal, the animals being led by drivers on foot for the whole journey to the guns and back, and the cheerful spirit with which this arduous duty was performed by the long suffering drivers and horses
deserved all praise.

On leaving the front the Corps Commander expressedhis thanks to the Division for the excellent work performed during
the recent operations, in the following terms :" Your Division is now leaving the Corps, and I wish to thank all ranks for the excellent work done since joining the Corps and taking

The captures on the 13th instant were a splendid feat, and a very fitting conclusion to the operations of the Division before leaving the Corps.

the Divisional Artillery made preparationsto participate in

the great offensive about to be launched, known as the Third
Battle of YPRES.

There were gun positions everywhere, and the guns appeared to be pointing in all directions which was more or
less true.

Practice barrages were arranged and fired, the wagon lines and D.A.C. working unceasingly to maintain the supply of
ammunition.

Just before 4 o'clock on the 31st July the attack commenced on the whole army front, and hundreds of tons of ammunition
were fired.

For days the battle waged with varying success,all batteries firing in support intermittently day and night. Several batteries moved into advanced positions in and about the old British front line, where very little shelter or protection was to be found, the whole area being pitted with shell holes, gradually filling up with water.
The weather could not have been worse, but all ranks

cheerfully responded to every call made in serving their guns under most trying circumstances. Wagon lines and sections of the D.A.C. were shelled by

day and bombedby night, giving practically no rest to either

man or beast.

About the middle of July the Trench Mortars were equipped with new 6-inch mortars, giving a much longer range than their former weapons. The mortars were successfully engaged on wire cutting during the preliminary bombardment, and moved forward as progress was made in close support of the Infantry.

The battle continued during August, all batteries being engaged day and night in keepingthe enemy'spositionsunder

guns were numerous.

The ground in the vicinity of the battery positions was simply one mass of shell craters filled with liquid mud, and it was practically impossible to move a singlegun from its position. Thanks to the excellent " pill-boxes " the Germans had built during their occupation, the detachments had fairly good
protection from shell fire and weather, but the conditions were

so trying that detachments at the guns were relieved every forty-eight hours, much benefit being derived from the short spells of rest obtained in this manner, although the wagon lines were still subjected to periodical shelling by the enemy's long range guns. B/174th Brigade wagon line suffered thirty casualties to horses in one morning. On the 22nd December the Divisional Artillery went into
rest until 8th January, 1918.

GREAT

RETREAT

At 4.30 on the 21st March the great blow fell on the front of the Fifth Army, of which the 39th Division formed a part. The bombardmentand barragewere terrific, and by 10 o'clock the enemyhad attacked in a thick mist on a front of about fifty
miles.

From the opening of the bombardment the Divisional Artillery were " standing to," in reserve, and at 2 o'clock in the

afternoonwereorderedto reinforcethe line, the enemyhaving

succeededin forcing back our forward positions.
On the 22nd the attack continued, and at 9 o'clock the

174th Brigade were ordered to withdraw, but, with the exception of " D " Battery, they were unable to get gun limbers to the gun positions, and therefore remained in action until the Infantry had withdrawn behind the guns, firing at such targets
as it was possible to see.

Eventually the enemy worked round the flanks of these batteries, and were harassing them from flanks and rear with
machine-gun fire. The detachments were withdrawn with

sights and breechblocks, and sixteen 18 pdr. guns were consequently lost to the enemy. D/174th Brigade withdrew with its howitzers, came into action again, doing considerable execution against the advancing enemy with observed fire. The 186th Brigade in the meantime, having their gun limbers close by, remained in action until the enemy were within 300 yards of the guns before withdrawing to fresh positions. Two guns of C/174 in the workshop were obtained, and with four howitzers and guns of another brigade, engagedthe enemy from new positions. Tke attack still continued on the 23rd March, brigades withdrawing from time to time to new positions from which they were able to continue covering the retirement of the infantry, only moving back when compelled to do so by close enemy machine-gun fire, crossing the SOMME before the bridge was blown up. One gun of C/186 was destroyed by hostile shell
fire.

Five guns of a battery which had become detached from

its group wereattached to 186th Brigade during the afternoon

and a Heavy Battery attached to the Division from the early

stages of the battle having suffered so many casualties, was

On the 27th March the enemy renewed the attack, the guns of the 39th Division engaging a part of the attacking troops with observed and barrage fire. The enemy, having forced back the right flank, compelled the 186th Brigade to withdraw to new positions, but before retiring the guns inflicted considerable losseson the enemy over the open sights. Several successful local counter-attacks were made during the afternoon under the personal direction of the Divisional Commander, artillery support being given. During the evening, parties of the enemycrossedthe Somme with machine-guns,placing someof the batteries in a somewhat exposed position.

The 39th Divisional Infantry were withdrawn from the battle on the 30th March,and transferredto the northern part of the British front, Brig.-Gen. Thompsonreassuming command of the Divisional Artillery, Lt.-Col. Brooke rejoining 174th
Brigade. Harassing fire was continued on 30th and 31st March. The enemy opened a most violent bombardment in the early hours of the 4th April on a line just behind the battery positions, the range being gradually shortened until it came back on to our front line, and when the enemy's infantry attacked the shelling was again lifted to the area of the batteries. Soon after daylight the attack developed, the enemy succeeding in entering our front line. In the opening bombardment batteries suffered severely, someof the gun teams in positions near the guns being heavily shelled, and nearly all communications with observing stations and brigade headquarters
were cut.

Battery signallers and telephonists did most excellent work in continually mending wires under very heavy fire in their endeavours to keep up communication, visual signalling being resorted to and maintained where possible. A hostile attack, advancing in massed formation, was engagedwith observed fire by C/186th and brought to a standstill.

The enemy attacking in great strength continued to push forward, but the batteries remained in their positions until nightfall. A forward section of C/174 was reached by the enemy,

but the two gunswere recovered during the night.

The following report from a Heavy Artillery F.O.O. is an instance of the work done by the batteries :" Two hostile attacks developed about 4 p.m. and 4.45 p.m. The advancing enemy were so heavily punished by the fire from the Field Artillery that they lost direction, and finally broke up and

positions was made, the Divisional Artillery now supporting
Australian troops.

Both Brigadesmoved forward on the 6th to give better support to a proposedlocal attack being made the following
day. About 5 a.m. on the 7th an intense barrage was commenced in co-operation with an attack made by the Australians, causing considerable casualties to the enemy in addition to the capture of about 150 prisoners. The 174th Brigade having been heavily shelled moved to new positions on the 8th, and on the 9th April the enemy once again shelled all communications and approaches to the battery positions with considerable effect, enemy infantry attacking about six in the evening, but the very heavy concentration of artillery fire brought to bear on the attack smashed it up.
Before dawn on the llth a most violent bombardment

again openedup on the battery areas, a considerable number of gas shells being fired, and the enemy once more renewed the attack. Severe fighting continued all day, batteries being able to employ a good deal of observed fire, causing much loss to the enemy's infantry. The 39th Divisional Artillery were withdrawn from action on 13th April at dusk, moving to an area south of AMIENS in

On the 25th the 174th moved into action from reserve, being

relieved again on the 30th by a New Zealand Brigade, the 186th commencing mobile training.

During the last week in June No. 1 SectionD.A.C. had an

epidemic of influenza, and about 25 per cent, of the men were unfit for duty at one time. The great German attack had failed in its attempt to reach the Channel ports and divide the Allied Armies. But at
what a cost !

Miles of beautiful country were laid waste, with many

towns and villages shatteredalmost beyondrecognition.

It was the last chance which could possibly come to the

enemy to effect the hoped-for break through, for his own resources in men and material, as well as supplies and animals, were at a very low ebb.

In the shock sustained by the British Armies with this

supremeeffort of the enemy,the 39th DivisionalArtillery loyally andheroically took their share, addinghonourto their
nameand also to the country and boroughthey represented.
29

But theenemy were nowheldin check, andwith theadvent of reinforcements the resumption of the offensive by the Allies
was imminent.

On the 3rd July the DivisionalArtillery was transferred by rail to Flandersto occupy reservepositions,the 186th Brigadesubsequently movinginto the line on the 7th, being
relievedby the 174thBrigade on the 31st.

THE

ADVANCE

On the 5th August the Divisional Artillery were withdrawn from the line and placed in G.H.Q. reserve, but proceeded into action again on the 15th for a special operation withdrawing on 21st, and on the 25th August it was transferred by rail from ST. OMER to the First Army, establishing Headquarters at AUBIGNY, wagon lines being located at ARRAS, ready to join in the further operations, which eventually
terminated with the Armistice.

Guns were placed in position on the night 24/25th, and detachments withdrawn until late on the 25th, when the guns were manned, supporting an attack made by Canadian Infantry early on 26th August. The attack was successful,the batteries advancing on 26th and again on 27th in closesupport. ing barrage of the artillery, several local counter-attacks made by the enemy being repulsed.

Progress wasmadeon 28th by the infantry under a creep-

Further advanceswere made on 29th and 30th, the guns following in support, renderingassistance in repelling counterattacks and harassing the enemy on all possible occasions.

Lt.-Col. Lord A. E. Browne, commanding186th Brigade, waskilled in action on 27th August,Lt.-Col. R. C.Reeves, joining on September 1st, taking over commandof the Brigade. The forward movementcontinued in Septemberwith the Divisional Artillery still in the line supporting the attacks of the Canadians, the majority of batteries having advanced sectionsready to take on any fleeting target which presented

itself, the opportunities beingmany,and full advantage was

taken of them.
30

The enemy'sgunsand aircraft werevery active againstthe

areas occupied by the Division's guns and wagon lines during
whole advance.

Another successful attack was launched by the Canadians

on 26th September,both brigadessupporting and advancing as the infantry made progress. Every opportunity was taken to inflict losses and damageto the enemyduring the early days of October,and on the 9th both brigadesassisted in the bombardment of the areanear CAMBRAI, in support of an attack on the town, which was entirely successful, very little resistance being met. The advance continued until the 19th, when preparations were made for another great attack. This attack was very successful, the guns moving forward according to the progress of the fighting. On 25th October brigades were withdrawn to wagon lines into Corps reserve. On 30th both brigades moved into action again and on 31st fired in support of the attack on VALENCIENNES, continuing the advance until 4th November, when the 39th Divisional Artillery were withdrawn and placed in Army reserve, where they were at 11 o'clock on the llth November, 1918, when the Armistice was signed and the great World War
came to an end.

It must be left to the great writers of the day to describe more accurately the feelings of our soldiers when the Armistice was signed and the World War brought to a conclusion. It is sufficient for this brief narrative to state that every one of the Deptford Artillery, from the highest to the lowest, were thankful the greatest struggle and slaughter the world has ever seen had come to an end, and that every call made on it had been

responded to, thereby entitling the Deptford Artillery to rank

amongst the victors.
