		After vicious fighting by 1st Division, and later 15th (Scottish) Division, in the western part of the Wood, including the use of incendiary devices, such as flame-throwers, and the hydraulic sapping system (largely unsuccessfully), the eastern corner crater was successfully stormed by 1st Division.
		Long before either division could set a foot in the Wood, withering machinegun fire, originating from the adjacent Acid Drop Copse, cut down swathes of 17th (Northern) Division, whilst 38th (Welsh) Division was similarly decimated by fire from the adjacent Flat Iron and Sabot Copses, and from the Wood itself.
		This final area of the Wood was taken by the 21st Division - who had relieved 38th (Welsh) Division on the 11th July - when, on the night of the 11th/12th September, in what was almost an anticlimax after all the fighting, the Germans evacuated their remaining lines at the edge of the Wood.
