The sector had been very quiet for two or three months. On the morning of the 11th the men of Platoon 10, ‘C’ Company had just been relieved from night duty and were looking forward to some breakfast and a hot drink. The men were allowed to use a mine sap (also described as a disused mine shaft) as a shelter and place to rest during the day and by 8.30 am more than 20 men were in the mine eating their rations. Eleven men were killed when German trench mortars destroyed the shelter. Initial rescue attempts by members of the battalion were hindered by further shelling which killed one man and wounded others. Further efforts were made over the following days but only Edwin Jones’s body was recovered. Subsequently a court of enquiry was held which concluded that all had been done to rescue the men. A burial service was later held at the scene”.
