Essex Scottish Regiment, R.C.I.C.

On 1 March the Essex Scottish Regiment endured a heavy fight in the Hochwald Gap, the assault started at 07.45 a.m. The fighting was the fiercest on the left where the regiment had to cross 500 yards of open ground and ten feet of barbed wire to reach the foremost trenches. But they managed to clear the trenches even though the Germans launched a counter-attack. By nightfall the Essex Scottish Regiment were still firmly holding their position. The day’s fighting had cost the regiment 31 killed and 77 wounded, amongst them Lance Sergeant Alfred Cadman.
