"...farther north the 17th Brigade's forward battalions, the 2nd Royal Scots Fusiliers and the 6th Seaforth Highlanders, had also been withdrawn, after hard fighting, from the railway line south of Zillebeke to the west bank of the YpresComines Canal ... At about eight in the evening the enemy attacked them again, and the 17th Brigade were gradually forced back to the WarnetonSt Eloi road." http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/UN/UK/UK-NWE-Flanders/UK-NWE-Flanders-12.html |
