The force engaged was a central Ontario battalion.
 s The German line was penetrated to a depth of more than 500 yards along a front of TOO yards. A large num- Der of enemy dugouts which had been constructed on both sides of a 20 foot railroad embankment stretching between Avion and Mericourt and which contained many men were successfully bombed.
 In order to reach these. dugouts the attacking force, consisting largely of men who had not hitherto taken part in an assault, had to find their way in the darkness through groups of wrecked houses and a tangle of enemy wire cut during the last few days by our artillery and through a brick yard.
 To add to the difficulties of the men a barrage of gas shells was put on by the enemy as they went over -he trench tops.
