After the successful capture of PONTRUET and FORCANS trenches at St Helene the Battn were relieved and moved into billets at VENDELLES.
The Battalion suffered four fatalities on that day:-
2129/204788 Harry Sheldon aged 25 and from Newark.
107144 James Walker aged 32 and a draughtsman from Spondon.
2242/242621 Donald Wardman aged 22 and from Mansfield.
48594 Robert Watson from Gateshead.
All four are buried in ROISEL COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION but it is likely that these are post-War reburials and the men were removed from Bernes Churchyard. In total 46 men of the North Midland Division who were killed between 21st and 29th of September were later reburied in Roisel Cemetery.
