North of the Ravebeek swamps, the 3rd Division had run into trouble from intense artillery fire behind deserted enemy positions at the dotted red line (see map) and, at 9:00 a.m., centre and flanking battalions had to return to previous positions.
À 9 h, les bataillons de front et des flancs durent retraiter vers leurs positions précédentes, mais des renforts du 52e bataillon, en position d'appui, permirent aux Canadiens de reprendre le terrain perdu.
