Snooker Farm

The Thirty-fourth Division, 1915-1919, the story of its career from Ripon to the Rhine, by Lieut.-Colonel J. Shakespear. 1921

On the left of the 103rd Brigade the King’s Own Scottish Borderers were to stand fast on the Blue line, while two companies of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders pushed through them and followed the barrage, pivoting on their right about Job Farm till their left reached Snooker Farm. This line was the Brown line , and was roughly parallel to, and some one thousand yards from, the railway which forms the north and north- western boundary of the turn of Menin.

The enemy put up a stout resistance at Roumanian Farm, and it was six p.m. before the Brown line was fully taken. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders held from Snookers to Roumanian Farm, and the Scottish Rifles thence to Job. The Durham Light Infantry, on the Kidney Bean, were relieved by a platoon of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders about an hour later.
