On 23rd April, 1915, the 4th Middlesex battalion of 8 Brigade, 3rd Division left Rosenhill Camp at Reninghelst, to the south-west of Ypres and moved to trenches at Vierstraat with two companies in the front line and the other two in reserve billets. They remained here until relieved on 29th April. Clinton Dove died from wounds on 15th April but the battalion diary provides no further information concerning his death. The attrition rate among British soldiers on the Western Front was on average 300 each day and 60% of these were as a result of shellfire. When not involved in an actual battle it was either shell fire or a sniper’s bullet that caused most deaths and injuries. |
