There was no counterattack on the right of railway as my Brigade

attack on the left of railway failed AAA
Situation now is 6th Cav Bde with assistance of one Company RIF
(Royal Irish Fusiliers) is holding their original line with one
company RIF in support AAA My support is at
level crossing I.11.b AAA The 7th Cav Bde
on my left has as far as I can ascertain no troops further
forward than in line with my supports at any rate on right of
7th Bde AAA In consequence situation is most
unsatisfactory as my left flank on railway is completely ****
***** AAA Casualties in my brigade have been
very heavy and for this reason it was necessary for me to ask
for assistance of the two Companies of Infantry and it
will be impossible to withdraw them unless replaced with other
troops AAA
