Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
	6		Although the bn was subjected to intense fire during the whole of this period, our own Gunners had not been idle. From 1800 6 Oct to 0600 7 Oct, 3,587 rounds were fired by 69 Fd Regt alone in sp of the Bde. Furthermore the Div artillery had engaged most of the targets and the Med Regt had also been constantly in action. During the rest of this action the Fd Regt fired 3,109 almost entirely in support of the Hallamshires. This again, does not take into account the rest of the Div arty and the mediums.
