1916 Oct 12. In spite of this heavy loss they returned to the trenches on October 22, and next day took part in a renewed attack. On this occasion the Royal Warwickshire advanced in support of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. The attack was delayed by fog till 1.30 in the afternoon; in both battalions the casualties were heavy, and at evening in small isolated parties they were digging in near Frosty and Hazy Trenches. They held on during the night, and on the following day gradually consolidated their gains, till at evening they were relieved. The Royal Warwickshire again lost heavily, 2 officers killed and 156 other casualties; amongst the wounded was Lieut. J. L. Shute, who had also been wounded on October 12, but had rejoined. The capture of Frosty Trench was important as a step to a future advance. But the 4th Division was now again withdrawn for a needed rest. Warwickshire History
