Describing an incident in connection with the German attacks at Roeux , the special cor respondent of the " Daily News " says " it is always difficult to maintain communication during an action , and the first intimation that the officers of a Scottish battalion had that the line had been broken anywhere thereabouts was when the battalion commander came out of his headquarters dug - out and found the coun- try behind him full of Germans , who were still going with their backs to him . Collecting what men he could , ie started after them . " The Germans got into a short trench , where the motley commando fell upon them , and after killing twenty of them took the remam- ing forty , prisoners . " But all this fighting , especially in the attacks delivered in the dark or half light , is full of incredible incidents . At one time our men just north of the Scarpe had rushed a position whence , for the first time , they could look down and enfilade an enemy trench ou the south side of the river .
