UN459P. The London Regiment, City of London Battalions by Richard Caton Woodville.
The London Regiment, City of London Battalions by Richard Caton Woodville 		During the afternoon of Sunday, May 16th 1915, Sergeant Hayward of the 7th London Regiment, received orders to reinforce a communication trench captured from the Germans near Festubert, earlier in the day. On reaching the trench they proceeded along it for about a mile, and orders were then given to attack a neighbouring farmhouse and occupy an orchard adjoining it. As they emerged from cover the Germans opened fire upon them with machine guns, besides hurling grenades. In spite of the heavy fire, Hayward and his men crossed the orchard until further advance was held up by barbed wire. Taking cover, they held their ground for some time, but were eventually obliged to retire. Hayward showed both coolness and courage in the task of withdrawing his men from a dangerous position, and was rewarded with the D.C.M.

The bold front shown by the British party prevented the enemy from breaking through on the Wieltje Road, besides averting besides averting an attack on the flank of one of the British Divisions.
