The Bn moved to the Purple Line in front of Mailly-Maillet at 10pm on the 23rd in support of the 17th Division's attack on Thiepval Ridge. At 10.30am on the 24th the Bn moved to Thiepval Ridge and at 2pm moved further forward to keep in touch with the advancing attacking troops.

Casualties were heavy.    I calculate the figure for All Ranks to be 150.  PhilipG.
