The Battle of Zillebeke opened on) ~ June 2,°19186, and really continued ufi- on, a front of two miles from Hill 60 to the upper edge of Sanctuary Wood and Hoodge on Menin Road. At the the southeastern portion of the Ypres t. The British were massing for the Somme offensive and the" Ypres salient was practically stripped of tocen. The Canadians vere at a disadvantage; There was no air service, « There was little artillery and only a thin line of in- fantry. There were mo series of sup- porg, and: reserve trenches, owing to the nature of the ground, while the Germahs Had even the advantage of position, being on high ground, while the | ians occupied the low. e Zillebeke sector was defended by #he '8rd Canadian division, under the-pémmand of General Mercer, with sek all Sth Brigades in the line. The front line trenches were occupied by the 2nd 'and 4th' Mounted Rifles at ; thellower end near Hill 60; and Mount ~~ Sofrel, The Princess Patricias, two companies "of which were largely _ made up of University men from To- ~ -ronfd Montrél and the West, ocon-! pi the. upper part ' of Sanctuary.

Unknown to the Ganadfans, the Gernians had. for several days been filling their trench es with tremch mortars as preparation for a surprise attack which' they pur- posed lathehing on. this day.

It is sad to record that Lieut.-Commander Mars- den and one man were the only sur- vivors; they were picked up by a des- troyer on June 1st, after having been five hours in the water." = The. original "Ardent" was a cap- tive from the French--one of Rod- ney's' prizes in the Battle of the Saints, and the only one to get home, The others, including the gorgeous 110-gun "Ville.de Paris," were lost in hurricanes on their way to England.
