Losses (in 5 Days) : Officers: killed 2, wounded 1, Other Ranks 20

The IV Corps in the northern haunch of the salient had maintained their line by first-rate training, the initiative of junior leaders and steady courage.

The failure to exploit the original success on 20th November was unfortunate and the southern flank of the salient created invited the German counter-attack. The tanks, however, had opened a new phase in warfare and proved their capacity to obtain surprise and lead the infantry to success over all obstacles, without artillery bombardment.

No further fighting of importance was undertaken by the Regiment in 1917.
