The Blue line was reached after the machine gun posts west of Langemarck were silenced. Once the station was captured little opposition was encountered. The Green Line was reached with more difficulty due to the bad ground condition. Eventually the Red Line could be taken and the line was consolidated. Early in the afternoon of the 16th a German counterattack attempted to break through a gap created between the right side of the 12th Battalion King’s and the Battalion on its right. The 12th Battalion King’s moved to the right and retired 200 yards (about 182 meters) in order to keep the front line continuous. The Battalion was relieved on the 18th of August.
