The first mention of Lieutenant Hardiman in the 6th Bde CMG Company War Diary was on 15 Oct 1916 when he arranged a relief.  Then from 6 December 1916 until 7 January 1917 he was on leave.  Between 25 and 31 January he went on a Special Map Reading Course at Pernes.  By 9 February he was in charge Nos. 3.

Lieutenant Hardiman was O.C. of No. 3 Section, which was attached to 27th Bn for attack on Vimy Ridge.  They moved into positions at 8.30 p.m. on the evening of 8 March 1917.  The following extract from the War Diary describes their part in the Battle of Vimy Ridge the next day:
"No 3 Section under Lt. Hardiman advanced about 8.30 a.m. in Rear of 'D' Company 29th Bn. 2 gun teams under Lt. Tucker on the right of D Coy and 2 gun teams under Lt. Hardiman on left flank. The teams advanced through consolidation lines until enemies wire was reached at B1 c 7.4. From this point Lt. Hardiman with two guns took up position covering advance of D Coy to the Bois de Ville. Whilst these covered advance Lt Tucker with two guns entered the wood, dug in and got into action firing heavily upon enemies artillery with good results until ammunition began to run short when men were sent back to carry up supply. As soon as D Coy had dug in Lt Hardiman and guns moved into the Bois des Ville on the left of the two first guns. Owing to the fact that D Coy 29th Bn had 8 Lewis guns in the wood and that the field of fire in the wood was poor these 4 guns were withdrawn 150 yards from the wood which gave them a much greater field of fire."
On the following day, Lt Hardiman was "informed that hostile troops were massing North of Willerval ... and fire was brought to bear by all 4 guns. A German gun captured by the Section was brought into action by Lt Hardiman assisted by Ptes Halstead and Climie. Hostile parties were dispersed and heavy casualties inflicted ... Lt Hardiman rendered exceptionally good services throughout whole of the operations."

On 17 April he was still O.C. No. 3 Section.  Then on 18 May "Lieut. William Leech Hardiman slightly wounded. Still at duty."  He must have recovered fully, as he proceeded on a course of Revolver Shooting at Camblain l'Abbe with Lt. Withrow with 4 NCO's from 24 to 29 May.  Then from 12 August until 18 September he procceded to the First Army School of Instruction at Hardelot.  Shortly after he returned, on 28 Seprember, the War Diary notes that he was second-in-command of the company.  The from 6 to 19 October he spent 10 days leave in England.  On 25 October, he was admitted field ambulance sick, and there is no further mention of him in the War Diaries.

Ernest Vivian Hare was born on 28 August 1893 at Homefield, Manitoba, son of Ernest George Hare.  He enlisted at Winnipeg, Manitoba on 3 November 1915, at which time he described himself as a farmer, and his next-of-kin as his father, then of "The Gables", Blisworth, Northamptonshire, England.

CMG Company War Diary shows that the company was relieved on Sunday 11 November, but makes no mention of casualties.  However, there were three O.R.s killed on the previous day by heavy shelling during a Second Division attack on the enemy lines which the company supported with a machine-gun barrage. The following is an extract from the War Diary for 10 November: "Weather stormy with heavy rain. The 2nd Cdn Div again attacked on the left sector. Barrage guns in positions taken up on the 9th opened fire in accordance with Fire Organization Table attached. Zero hour was 6.05 a.m. Attack was successful but units were subjected to one of the heaviest barrages they have yet endured. On account of the heavy rain which set in during the early morning and converted the countryside into a quagmire the men suffered severely from exposure, the heavy shelling causing trenches and shelters to cave in and burying men, guns, and ammunition. It was impossible to keep guns clean. Casualties for the day were 3 O.R's killed."

Leo Julius Hobbs (alias John Hardy) was born on 9 January 1895 or 1898 at Port Blandford (or at Keels, Bonavista Bay, depending on which version of attestation paper you believe), Newfoundland, son of Thomas Hobbs.  He enlisted in the 286th Overseas Battalion (The New Brunswick Kilties - Sir Sam's Own) at Fredericton, New Brunswick on 22 March 1917, at which time he was single and working as a fisherman at Keels, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland.  He listed his father, also of Keels, Bonavista Bay, as next-of-kin.  He enlisted for a second time in the 1st Depot Battalion, 2nd C.O.R. at Hamilton, Ontario on 7 November 1917.  He was still single, but was now working as a seaman, and living at 27 Pleasant Street, Port Blandford, Newfoundland.  He listed his sister Annie Walsh, of the same address, as next-of-kin.

Private L.J. Hobbs was detached to the 25th Canadian Battalion Unit Group No. 1 Halifax. "B" on 25 March 1919, for the purpose of demobilisation.

An Operation Order dated 4 November 1917 shows Lt. Hobson to have been in command of "B" Section of the 5th Bde. CMG Coy. at that time.  On 1 February 1918, when he was still with the 5th Coy., he was awarded the Military Cross, but the citation in the War Diary on 9 March showed that he had previously been awarded the Military Medal.  On 28 March 1918, he was O.C. of the 5th Bde. CMG Company.  After the amalgamation of the companies into the 2nd Battalion CMG Corps, he was promoted to Acting Captain, and made O.C. of "C" Battery No. 1 Company.  On 14 June 1918, Capt. Hobson took command of No. 1 Company temporarily while Major Basevi was recovering from the effects of a gas shell exploding nearby.

During the Battle of Arras, between 26 and 28 August 1918, Capt. Hobson took over temporary command of the four batteries of No. 1 Company.  The September Nominal Roll shows him, incorrectly, as Capt. W. Hobson.  Then on 7 November, he became O.C. No. 3 Company while Major McCamus was on a course in Camiers, remaining there until the end of March 1919.  The National Archives of Canada CEF Datadbase shows him with the rank of Major, so presumably he was promoted prior to his demobilization.

Roy, publ. 1998, CEF Books): "Wednesday 11th April 1917 - I understand our Company's casulaties were twelve.  Horsfall, French and a new battalion man who was attached to us were killed.  McDermid died of wounds at the base.  Eight were wounded.  Horsfall, was sturdily built, was teased quite a bit by his Section Officer who usually referred to his short, thick neck.  Curiously enough, Horsfall was killed by shrapnel slitting his throat."

"20 April 1917 - No. 8 Crew No 2 Section under Cpl Hunn became casualties by shell hitting position. Cpl Hunn's conduct after being wounded is worthy of the highest praise. Crew was replaced 3 hours later." [War Diary]  Donald Fraser describes the incident as follows: "Friday, 20 April 1917 - The gun crew of No. 8 gun were practically cleaned up today.  While they lay sleeping in their improvised dug-outs, a shell landed and the whole six of them were wounded, three rather badly - Cpl. Hunn, Kelly and Murphy.  They would never have been noticed if it were not for an Observation Officer who happened to pass and thought there was something strange about the place.  Going over, he found them in a sorry plight."

Private again notes in his diary, together with his personal views, the award on 30 May 1917 of medals for the Vimy offensive: "... today we are notified of the Vimy honours for the company.  Decorations are fast falling into disrepute as most of them by far are given for no outstanding service, and as a certain number of awards are allotted to each unit, they have to be distributed.  At Vimy there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary done by our fellows.  The artillery took such good care od the enemy that there was nothing much for us to do but to move to our objective with little opposition.  In spite of this ... Cpl. Hunn [was given] the D.C.M. (he also has had the M.M.) ... It is too bad that the decorations are not granted for bravery exclusively."
