Written for the Canadian Press Six years ago today the outcome of the third battle of Ypres was de- cided. On June 2nd after concent. rated artillery, bombardment, the Germans attacked the allied line which bounded that blood-soaked (triangle, the 'salient', and for el- leven days and nights, attack and | counter-attack, indispersed with the {most violent shelling to which Canu- |adians were ever subject, raged ! from Hooge to Hill 60. | On that 3,000 odd yards of front, | which represented the area of the | fighting, it is estimated that over el- | even German divisions were used in |an effort to smash through the Can- {adian Ine. Opposed to these were {actually only two Canadian divis- | ions, for the Second Canadian divis- | ton only contributed a few Dattal- ions. The Germans did advance; | penetrating in one place to Zillebeke | village, nearly 2,000 yards from the | original front line trenches, but in {their attack six years ago toaay, | Canadians drove them from the oc- |cupied ground, consolidated the |line where it had previously been 'and made good the saying of the | Canadian Corps '"'that the men from | the Dominion had never lost a | trench." . Histor.ane only make passing re- | ference to this fight which has been | variously termed "The Battle of |sanctoae Wood, of Maple Copse, or {ot Zillebeke, "nevertheless the loss | and the recovery of the position was {fraught with some of the costliest and most desperate fighting of the | war. Whole battalions were wipea {out in the fury of the bombardments which preceded the attacks of the | Wurttembergers and for miles be- {hind the line the Boche guns shell- {ed roads, dumps and bullets until {the strip of Flanders soil bounded {on the North by the Menin Road at {ioose, on the South by Hill 60 and fon the East by the trencies, was a [ Litter of dead men, animals and the | welter of equipment smashed by | high explosive. The Firét and Third | Canadian Divisions in eleven days of | fighting, lost more men at the Third | Battle of Ypres than those same | Divisions lost in six weeks at the | Somme. The enemy's losses, tnougn never definitely ascertained, were estimated at close to 20,000 or near- ly double the casualties sustained by, ithe Canadians. At least one Ger- man Corps commander was retired | tor failure to penetrate and retain | the position. Briefly, the story of the fight 1s | this: On the morning of June 2nd, ne Boche opened with guns or all | caltbre upon the positions held by | the Canadian troops from Muams | Sorrel on the right to Hooge on the | left. Armagh and Sanctuary Woods, where splinter<proof shelters for {the reserve companies of battalions {in the line were located, were de- {luged with shells and communicat- | ion trenches, fire trenches, bombiing {and machine gun posts were oblit- | erated by the terrific bombardment. | When the enemy advanced only a |tew dazed and desperate' survivors jromained to resist, | The Third Canadian Division was {In the line at the time of the enemy | attach. The Second Division was {occupying front line positions fur- | ther south, and the First Canadian | Division was in Corps Reserve, The { latter received orders to march at Jouss to the line to deliver the count- er-blow necessary to restore the line.

THE NEWEST RECORDS, A COMPLETE STOCK. Jl T.F. Harrison Co, Liited roe 50 = The first counter-attack was plann- ed to take place before daylight, {June 3rd, but the order was after- wards changed to 7 o'clock. Several hours before this time the battalions of the First Division which haa marched the fifteen or twenty ku) ometres from the Corps rest camps appeared on the scene. Tired and hungry they were and their ranks depleted from the heavy shelling dir- ected against the roads and overland trails they had traversed during the night. The counter-attack on June 3rd, in which the 7th, 10th, 14th, 15th and 49th battalions took parts was | Jointly superintended by Generals Tuxford and Lipsett of the 3rd and 2nd battalions respectively, Though those who have previously chronicl- ed this attack, are unanimous on the gallantry of the troops engaged, the operation has been styled a fail ure, tine. Gen. Tuford's Statement General Tuxford, who is now a resident of Moose Jaw, Sask., de- clares that it was the first attack on June 3rd, 1916, which made possib- ly the success of the attack of which today 1s the sixth anniversary. 'He cites the following reasons as to why he considers this is so: 1. "The June 3rd attack estab- lished the location of the Boche posit- tions. 3. "It prevented the Wurttem- mbergers from taking the iniative by taking the iniative from the War- ttembergers. 3. "It established a continuity of pogition as the Canadians' front Mne from which the "Jump off" on June | 3rd was made possible," General Tuxford blames the an ure of the troops engaged on the June 3rd counter-attack upon these facts: \ 1. "Lack of definite information concerning the positions to be at- tacked 3. Insufficient nature of artillery prepartation. 8. 'Alteration of orders concern- ing the, time the blow was to be de- livered. : 4. "Poor communications is be- | tween battalions: both laterally and | in depth, caused by 'incessant hostile | | machine gun and shrapnel fire," | | In any event, troops attacking on June 3rd:did occupy positions .of some importance to which the enemy vance made totalled about 1,200 yarde and carried the Canadians to |the western extremity of Observat- ory Ridge, a high tongue of ground lin the left ¢entre of the position, running directly east and west. The | | 8ains therefore established a line of | defense, established the position of | the German troops and gave a gooa | Position to attack from. In view of | the handicaps under which the | troops labored ipcluding concentrat- | {ed machine gun, rifle and shell fire | [to which they were subject; lack of | knowledge of the position and tae | fact they had little instruction in the method they were to employ, the at- | tack of June 3rd may be described as distinctly successful, but costly | withal in the lives of soldiers. ! | For several days artillery and | |counter-artillery bombardments, at- ! {tack and counter-attack, mostly of a {local nature, raged back and forth | |along the line. The German front | {line on the right and right centre | [Was from 500 to 750 yards east of | the old advance positions of the | | Canadians. Hooge, however, that | commanding eminence to the ex- | jtreme left, was still Canadian | {ground and no effort put forth by | the enemy up to this time had been | successgyl In dislodging its stubborn | defenders. On June 6th, the enemy blew mines under the front line Canadian trenches in the Hooge | sub-sector and in the attack which | |developed immediately afterwards, | | penetrated as far as the Hooge sup- | {port lines. Major A. G. Styles, now | {of Regina, a captain at that time | | with the 28th battalion, was the hero | jof the Hooge attack. He mobilizea | | machine guns and prevented the at- | | tackers from rolling up on the right. | | As the horde of Wurttembergers | {poured through "The Gap" (inat | | slight depression just south of Hooge | where 700 of the Prussian Guard broke through in October, 1914 and | {were annihilated by the British) the | machine guns of the 28th and of the | | British battalions further to the left, | had a beautiful enfilade on them ana {mowed the oncoming Boche down {like corn. {| In the 'interval, June 6th to June {12th the Boche made several loc- | {al attempts to bomb and. blast his | | way further into the heart of the | | Canadian position. In every case he | failed, but the Canadians, now ty- {ing in full view of the Germans who | occupied the higher ground, passed |an unpleasant time. The slightest | movement was shelled and all day {and night the ground was swept with | {shrapnel and machine gun bulzeus, | {with the less noisy but more dead. |ly misgiles from aimed rifle fire. | | had previously penetrated. For ex- | lample at Zillebeke village, the ad- [PEE The Final Attacx The attack on the night 'of June {12-13th was well planned and well executed. The attackers were dis- | | tributed in the front line along the | western front of Armagh and Sanct- | |uary woods and the eastern side of | Maple Copse. The night was vile for {the rain fell in torrents but the | masses of mud which formed in ev- ery hollow and shell hole mercifully smothered the effect of the fast fall- ing Wigh explosive from the German guns. At a quarter to one in the morning the pandemonium of the | {Canadian batteries broke loose-- | the greatest concentration of guns {ever behind the corps up to that | |time. Bombers formed the first wave | of attack launched at 1.30 a.m. on! {June 13th, and though the enemy | {resisted with stubborn bravery in| {certain isolated places, he was fin- | {ally overcome and the Canadian line | | established in its old pcsition along [the crest of the low hills which ac- centuate the outline of the Ypres | Salient. The principal units engaged were: 1st, 3rd, 7th and 8th battalions un- der Brigadier-General Lipsett; 2nd, 4th, and 16th battalions under Brig- adier-General Tuxford. General | Garnett Hughes with the 5th, 10th, 14th, and 16th was in Divisional re- serve, There are many rumors and theor- fes concerning the Sanctuary Wood, se, Hooge fight. The Ger- | mans gage warning of their intention to attack late in April, by driving T | saps toward the Canadian line after- | wards linking up the saps into new front trenches. On the right where the 2nd brigade of the 1st Divisron were holding the line and on tie extreme left where the Royal Can- adian Regiment were in the trench- es on June 2nd the Boche did not advance, it is true but at the same time the main force of the Wurttem- berger attack was directed against the centre held by the troops of the Third Canadian Division, them mak- Ing its debut in the trenches. Here the volume of shell fire was so in- tense that several battalions of this Division simply ceased to exist be- fore the Germans even left their trenches. The enemy undoubtedly was fully informed as to the pre- sence of the new troops in the line. His attack was launched according- ly. Officers and men who were in the "June Show™" (as it is called) of 1916, invariably express puzzle- (Continued on* Page 6.)
