I haven't got their war diary but, on that day, they were involved in the advance on the Keiburg Spur and beyond. Held up by the Passchendaele-Terhand line, they (the 28th Bde) were also cut up by the MG fire from the Flandern I Stellung (from the front and from the right wing as Terhand had not yet been captured) before pushing on to and through Dadizeele as far as the Menin-Roulers road where offensive operations ceased for the day.
