Thursday 6th
July 1916 From our Correspondent in the
Field
This evening
the 7th Bedfords are moving from Carnoy and Caftet Wood to more forward
positions. As they have been arriving they have been welcomed by German
lachrymatory shells(1). No material damage has been done but slight discomfort
has been caused.
All day the
Germans have been shelling the area which the army is making its current
target, just south of the village of Contalmaison. The Commander-in-Chief of
the British Expeditionary Force, Sir Douglas Haig, has issued a memorandum
stating that all possible advantage must be taken of confusion caused to the
enemy and low morale caused by incessant attacks.
