Further assault on Mametz Wood & Wood Trench

After re-forming in MANSELL COPSE, a further assault on WOOD TRENCH and the south corner of MAMETZ WOOD was made at 10:15pm. However, the German barbed wire was found to be uncut and a withdrawal was ordered due to increased resistance and strong German counter-attacks.
