At the end of his despatch Sir Ian Hamilton states

that all engaged did well, but that the chief factor in the success " was the splendid attack carried out by the 29th Division, whose conduct on this as on previous occasions was beyond praise." It is a great pleasure to find tleat Sir Ian Hamilton is able to tell us by name and number quite in the old-fashioned way bow the divisions, brigades, and battalions did their work. We are not in the least cavilling at the contrary decision which the military authorities have felt obliged to reach in Flanders. When, however, we are allowed to know " who did what," we rejoice.
