	25th September
		The 15th division were through Loos by 08.00 and reached the Lens-La Bassee road by 9.15, but by now things had started to go awry, the division was starting to lose the direction in which it should be advancing.
		Although these three divisions were only faced by three German regiments, the ground over which Gough had to advance gave an advantage to the defenders because of all the slag heaps, miners cottages and quarries; also, in front of the 9th division was a formidable strong point, the Hohenzollern Redoubt.
		On the left of the 7th was the 9th division, facing the Hohenzollern and a slag heap called ‘The Dump’, they also had an objective that required them to reach the Haute-Deule Canal by the end of the day, an objective as over ambitious as it was for the 7th.

	The 51st (Highland) Division, War Sketches by Fred. A. Farrell, Text
		A serious natural obstacle confronted the Highlanders in a deep fold of the ground known as Y Ravine, which ran down from the village to the German trenches, and the ground in general over which their advance was made was horrible with the dead and the litter of the struggle here in the previous July.
		The 51st Division, which was in the XVII Corps under Sir Charles Fergusson, and part of Allenby's Third Army, was opposite Thélus and facing the outer spurs of Vimy Ridge, in front of which, to the Division's left, lay four Canadian divisions, while on its right was the 34th Division.
		In the first phase of the battle of the 20th November the Division had severe losses in its assault upon the strongly organized village of Flesquières, the approach to which was a long slope swept by machine-gun fire, which rendered the cooperation of the tanks unsatisfactory.
