Support & Communication trenches continued until 8:15 p.m., doing considerable damage to front line and Supports & dugouts in support line. ENEMY seen to leave his trench in attack at 8:15 p.m. & driven by Rifle, M.G. & Artillery fire. Capt. Adams remained cool and had situation in hand at all times. Signals were cut but sufficient service maintained by runners – CAPT. G. O. McNair killed. 8 killed and 14 O.R. wounded – shell shock, missing 12 O.R.

Note: The War Diaries for the 58th Canadian Infantry Battalion as well as Canada’s Virtual Memorial (CVM) state that Capt. G.O McNair was killed on May 1, 1916. Although CVM states that Thomas Edward Shier was killed on May 2, 2016 as the War Diaries state there were no casualties that date, we must assume that Pte. Thomas Edward Shier was actually killed on May 1 or he suffered injuries that day and passed on May 2, 2016.

Fact 1*Thomas Edward Shier is remembered on Page 161 of the First World War Book of Remembrance in the Peace Tower, Ottawa, Canada.
