On 4th December, 1914, the day on which David McClure was killed, the 1st Cornwall Light Infantry battalion of 14 Brigade, 5th Division were in the front line facing La Petite Douve Farm in Belgium. Here, heavy rain had made trenches awful and with the enemy lines 130 yards away and on a small rise, the water flowed down from there into the British trenches. To add to their miseries they had to contend with both artillery and sniper fire. |
