>Mercer was wounded three times and died early on June 3; Williams was wounded in the face and head and taken prisoner. At 1:00pm, German pioneers detonated four mines near the Canadian forward trenches, before the Germans attacked with six battalions, five more battalions in support and an additional six in reserve. >マーサーは3回負傷して、6月3日早朝に死亡した。ウィリアムズは顔と頭を負傷して、捕虜になった。ドイツ軍は6個大隊に加えて、支援のための5個大隊と追加用予備軍6個大隊をもってカナダ軍を攻撃したが、その前の午後1時に、ドイツ軍の先発工兵がカナダ軍前方の塹壕近くで4発の爆弾を爆発させていた。 >When the German forces attacked, mainly against positions held by the 8th Canadian Brigade, resistance at the front lines was "minimal". For several critical hours both the 3rd Canadian Division and the 8th Canadian Brigade were leaderless and their level of defence suffered accordingly. Brigadier-General Edward Spencer Hoare Nairne, of the Lahore Divisional Artillery, eventually assumed temporary command of the 3rd Canadian Division. >ドイツ軍団が、主に第8カナダ旅団によって保持されている陣地に対して攻撃したとき、最前線の抵抗は「最小限」であった。危機の数時間、第3カナダ師団と第8カナダ旅団は指揮者が不在で、ゆえに彼らの防御レベルはそれに応じて被害を被った。結局、ラホール師団砲兵隊のエドワード・スペンサー・ホア・ネアン准将が第3カナダ師団の臨時的指揮を引き受けた。
