In the 20th Division area two battalions of the 60th Brigade captured Rainbow Trench, shot at German troops who ran away and pressed on 150 yards to Misty Trench to gain touch with the 1/7th Middlesex on the right and the 61st Brigade on the left, which had reached its objective east of Gueudecourt, after the 7th KOYLI and the 12th King's Liverpool encountered a line of Germans advancing from Rainbow Trench to surrender.
