Even in “quiet” days the long sanent (often called the bloody angle) projecting into the Ger- man lines, daily produced its quota of dead and wounded. Several miles long, ‘it was sur- rounded on three sides by the Germans, then at the height of their First War fighting strength. Many military experts held that it was indefensible but it pro- lected the last high ground which led to the Channel ports. ‘and was being held by the Bri- tish Army at all costs. The German objective was not only to smash in the head of the salient but to cripple the Third Canadian Division which was defending it. They knew that the British Army was about to open its first great offensive of the war ‘and they wished to create a major diversion and to disrupt the plans for the com- ing attack.
I-t was the fate of the Eighth Canadian Infantry Brigade of the Thind Division to bear the brunt of this onslaught.

by such great succeeding battles 35 _V1m.V, Arnas. Paschendale, Amiens. In the later stages of the W91‘. the Canadians knew what it was to be counter at- tacked, but they were generally on the offensive and had the fire power to defend themselves which they did not have on that memorable day of June 2nd;19- 16. Some idea of the intensity of the_ artillery barrage can be gamed from the casualties.
The Eighth Brigade, four regi- ments moving up from reserve camp, took over the front line and support positions with a total strength of almost 2800, or 700 trench strength peir bat- talion. When the shattered bri- gade was removed from the line a day after the attack occurred, only a thousand men answered the roll call. One battalion, Fourth CMR's, first roll call mustered 35. The First CMR had 65. the Fourth CMR about 300, and the Fifth CMR somewhere between 350 and 500. Practically all of those casualties occurred in five hours.
TUNNELLED UNDER. TRENCHES ~ It was not only artillery fire
which decimated the battalions. ]The German had tunnelled un- l der the Canadian trenches prob- ‘ably for several months, and these trenches were packed with high explosives and blown up at a critical moment of the attack. Many men were buried and never heard of again.
Then the basage lifted and the German advanced in full march- ing order, expecting little or no resistance. But there was re- sistance from sgattered rem- nants of the survivors and the Fifth CMR with its detachment from the Island Light Horse, were among those who made a spirited counter attack describ- ed‘ vividly in the London papers at that time. Despite their great efforts the Germans were able to advance only about 600 or 700 yards, and even this meagre gain was wiped out when the First Canadian Division counter almacked two weeks later, and restored the front almost to its former position.
In Charlottetown Col. Fred Andrews and Maia!‘ N0II’ma1l Lowther, (who on that day lost his leg), are among some of the better known survivors of what was to theveterans in those far-off days simply as the “June Scrap”. There are others scattered here and there throl1€h- out the Island, and it can be assumed that none of them has ever foingiotten the trial by battle that they endured that day.
