After German gas attack on April 22 1915, what unit held the Kitchener`s wood when Canadians made the famous counter-attack? 51st Reserve Division? Res. Infantry or Res. Jäger? Which regiment?

When the Canadians attacked, they hit the junction of two German units - the 2nd Prussian Guard and the 234th Bavarian Inf. Regt. (the wood was also the junction between the 51st (of which the 234th was part) and the 52nd Reserve Divisions)

Canadian Official History, British Official History, "Magnificent But Not War" by John Dixon, "Canadians at Ypres" by N.Christie and cross-checked with "Histories of the 251 german Divisions who participated 1914-18" by US General Staff.
