Loos - The Enemy Attacks - We Were in a Tight Corner, by John Easton | 27 September 1915 | Episode 90

The author, who in Episode 89 told a haunting story of the German attack at Loos on September 27, here continues his narrative of the fateful hours.

He writes in the third person, giving himself the pseudonym Broadchalk, and tells of as thrilling adventures as were ever penned by a survivor of the Great War, and one of its most disastrous battles. His battalion was the 12th Royal Fusiliers, brigaded with the 9th Royal Sussex, the 7th Northants and the 13th Middlesex, forming the 73rd Brigade, 24th Division, all of which units are referred to in his fuller narrative.
