Chris_Baker Posted 15 October , 2003 Share Posted 15 October , 2003 On 6 September 1917, Lt-Col Smythe DSO, OC 15th Royal Irish Rifles, together with another 6 officers, 21 OR and the attached Chaplain, were all gassed and evacuated. The incident is not mentioned in the Divisional history, nor is the battalion war diary very revealing. For the day, it just lists those who were gassed and doesn't explain the circumstances. Does anyone have any other information as to exactly what happened? (The battalion was in the Salient) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
