From page 328 of the Regimental History.

The intense shelling continued sometimes for eight hours on end , and casulaties occurred at an average rate of twelve a day.
Major M.G.D. Clive was killed outright on Point 154 , and Lieut. F. Crawford Boult , who had come forward only two days before, lost his life at the same place.
