hich besides "E" and "K"
consisted of one section of Canadian artillery, one platoon of the "M.
G." Company, one trench mortar section, a medical detachment and a
detachment of 310th Engineers who could handle a rifle if necessary with
right good will. Each unit caught a gleam of fire from the old
Irishman's eye as he looked them over on December 28th and 29th, while
"L" Company came up to take over the front so as to relieve the men for
their preparations for the shock of the battle.

The enemy was holding Kodish with two thousand seven hundred men,
supported by four pieces of artillery and a reserve of seven hundred
men. Donoghue had four hundred fifty men. At 6:00 a. m. "E" and "K"
Companies were on the east bank of the Emtsa moving toward the right
flank of the Bolos and firing red flares at intervals with Very pistol
to inform Donoghue of their progress.

Meanwhile the seven Stokes mortars were putting a fifteen-minute barrage
of shells, a great 1000-shell burst, on the Bolo trenches, which added
to the 20-gun machine and Lewis gun barrage, demoralized the Red front
line and gave the two infantry companies fifteen minutes later an easy
victory as they swung in and on either side of the road advanced rapidly
toward Kodish village. Meanwhile the Canadian artillery pounded the Bolo
reserves in Kodish.
