2 June 1915:

This entry- the first for a while indicating any action-gives some indication of the company in which Louis was in within the Battalion. This is because the Battalion diary notes on this day that two companies G and LF move to Le Plantin in the second line at the rear of the trenches.

This would have put Louis in one of the companies that went into attack first at Festubal on 16 May, which also corresponds with his diary entry which noted they attacked at 3.15am.

It was a platoon from this company that had to wait before taking the German trenches while the British shelling ceased as they crossed between the British and German lines quicker than anticipated.
