Letter received from Lieut-Gen A. Haldane, O.C. VI CorpsThe Corps Commander is now in possession of the German couterattack on our trenches east of MONCHY-LE-PREAU on the morning of 18th June (the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo in which the 3rd Division bore a distinguished part). Thanks to the gallant stand made by the 76th Infantry Brigade the attack of the enemy was checked and completely disorganized, heavy loss being inflicted on his troops. It is a source of particular satisfaction to the Corps Commander that the troops of the 3rd Division held their ground during the very severe test which they underwent with their customary gallantry and resolution. He wishes to remind them that by doing so they maintained their proud record of never having lost a trench to the enemy both while under his command & under that of Maj-Gen Deverell.
