BULLUCH AND HOMEKZOLLERN. « At dawn on April 27 one of the Irish Brigades were holding the Chalk Pit salient south of Hulluch. All through the previous day and night the chemy's artillery had been bombarding up and down the lines of the neighbouring front with great intensity.
Repeated explosions of bombs, more noisy at close range than heavy artillery at work behind his lines, showed that German infantry were attempting to raid our tronches in various sectors not far away, The Hohenzollern was attack ed, and the enemy was bombed out of one of the craters into which they had made a rush. Through the darkness of night, faintly lightened by thousands of stars, throbbed a great xcarlet glare when one of the enemy's mines exploded to the west of Hulluch. E
Another lurid flame zig-zagged across the Bolds to the north-east of Vermelles. All the battle-ground of the Loos salient was in a tumult with high-explosive, and there was no sleep that night. Irish officers going their rounds warned the sentries to keep a sharp look-unt.
