His battalion had arrived at Ypres on 14 October and and four days later found itself in a battle for its existence: ‘Moved forward to Tirhand (18th) and engaged enemy. Major Ian Forbes wrote that the battalion was now constantly under fire and it was difficult to tell the difference between night and day. The enemy were persistent in their attacks, he recalls, and came on time after time; 4 or 5 to one as -”...rows and rows of canon fodder.” A ditch in front of the Battalion’s line, roughly 6 feet deep, 10 feet across and about 100 yards long, became filled with German dead. Withdrew during evening (19th) and dug in on line between Reutel and Poezelhoek. Held line under constant bombardment and attack. War Diary records (21st) that “D” Company were enfiladed by machine-gun fire and the enemy broke through between them and 2nd Yorkshire, forcing a withdrawal. “A” Company led counter-attack (22nd) but although the houses in Poezelhoek were cleared - was unable to regain lost ground. Major Forbes recalls the death of Captain F. Fairlie and that for days he could see the bodies of his men lying in front of the trenches.
