Kevin,
According to Stacke, page 244, 3rd para. from top, side margin 1/8th. 3rd line : "Strong patrols were constantly pushed forward; but the enemy's front line, at any rate, was still held, and on the evening of March 15th a too daring patrol of the 1/8th Worcestershire was badly punished(b). Footnote (b). 2nd Lieut. J. T. Ibbs was mortally wounded.
Hope this helps.
David.

Hi Kevin,
2nd Lt John Thomas Ibbs was my Great Uncle. He was sent out on the night of March 15th 1917 (his 36th birthday) in command of a special patrol to try and penetrate the German front line. He was shot whilst approaching the German wire which fractured his left thigh. He was brought back to the trenches by his Corporal Harris, who carried him across no-mans land under fire. He was treated immediately and sent to the Casualty Clearing Station where he died on March 20th. He was married and had a daughter.
Hope this helps, Paul.
