    Notes:

    • Grenadier Guards, Regimental History:
    During the last part of the advance Major Myles Ponsonby was hit while advancing with his men. Captain Thorne, the adjutant, remained with him, although they were only 25 yards from the Germans, tied up his wounds, and seeing how badly he was wounded, gave him morphia tablets. Early next morning Major Ponsonby died.
