An Attack on Hill 60 is Imminent


Saturday 17th April 1915: It seems as if final preparations are under way for an attack on Hill 60. Two companies of the 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire regiment remain in the front line, whilst the other two have been withdrawn into support to make way for 1st Battalion, Royal West Kent Regiment and 2nd Battalion King’s Own Scottish Borderers of 13th Brigade which will be spearheading the attack. The Bedfords will thus come under 13th Brigade command rather than 15th Brigade. Word is that something may happen this evening.
