By a satisfactory coincidence the troops whom we sur- prised were a battalion of the Jaegers, the very regiment which after three hours' bombardment had raided us exactly two months previously at: Ablaincourt. COMPANY SERGEANT-MAJOR E. BROOKS, V. C. p. 101. THE RAID AT FAYET, APRIL, 1917. IOI Our losses, considering the scope of the opera- tion, were heavy, but not so proportionately to the number of troops of both sides engaged nor to the severe nature of the fighting. Most of our casual- ties... had bullet wounds. The list, officially, was : Killed, i officer and 10 other ranks; wounded, 2 officers and 41 ; missing, i officer and 2. Of Tay- lor I regret to say no news was ever heard. I left him wounded, probably fatally, and quite incapable of being moved. The likelihood is that he died soon afterwards and was buried by the enemy in the trench where he lay. Allden and Kilby were a serious loss to the fighting efficiency of D Com- pany. For their gallantry Corporal Sloper and Ser- geant Butcher received the Military Medal and Jones the Military Cross.
