The Battalion was in a line of posts running through the eastern outskirts of Bullecourt to the left of Horseshoe Redoubt. 'A' & 'B' in the front line, 'D' in support and 'C' in reserve in Railway Reserve Trench with Bn HQ. On the morning of 21st March a terrific bombardment was opened which became steadily more intense and the Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Through the mist came the first groups of the enemy, but 'C' in reserve could not advance to meet them because of the intensity of the barrage. 'A', 'B' and 'D' Companies were overwhelmed and 'C' Company was ordered to hold Railway Reserve Trench to the last, and under Capt Jordan made a stand. Battalion HQ was rushed and Lt Col Stuart Wortley [aged 38] was killed. 'C' Company held on for as long as possible with the help of a few stragglers and wounded but was forced into Tank Trench where the enemy was found to be advancing in mass to the front but also up the trench in rear of the few survivors. "When this remnant had been obliterated by death or wounds, but not till then, the resistance of the Battalion ceased"
