| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | A further attempt to batter a way into ESTRY was made to-day. “Crocodiles” and “Petards” were used supported and protected by 3 sqn. 4 Tk. Gren. Gds. (3 Tk. Scots Gds. sqn. was withdrawn). This made little impression on the stubborn German resistance. ESTRY has obviously been selected to form a very strong point in the middle of a rapidly weakening front. |
