Thursday 30th December 1915: the 8th Battalion, Bedfordshire
Regiment spent its Christmas in the trenches but Captain D M Hawkins wishes to
pass on the Battalion’s thanks to Mrs J S Liddell, wife of the Commanding
Officer who runs the Comforts Fund for the Battalion. “There were sufficient
sent out for each man to receive a present, and they were greatly appreciated,
not only for their intrinsic value but also as a tangible reminder that the men
of this Battalion are not forgotten by those at home”.
