From the war diary of the 2nd Seaforths:
The battalion is in action to the east of Arras

Lt Col N C Orr was wounded during the morning trying to get up to see C Coy and 2/Lt Grierson from C Coy was killed both by snipers. Movement almost impossible to say. At 2.30pm Dukes went forward to get onto the 3rd objective which they did hit at 5.30-6pm. The SOS went up for a counter attack by the Boche. B coy had to form a defensive flank and the Dukes St Servin Farm was then lost again. At 8.45pm A coy on left B on right D on left of Dukes attacked under a barrage to capture 3rd objective. This was achieved except on the sunken road in front of A coy where enemy prevented it. Casualties of A and D coys in this attack were fairly heavy but 53 prisoners were taken.
