Thursday 10th
August 1916 From our Correspondent in the
Field
The 6th
Bedfords, at Bazentin-le-Petit have suffered more casualties today – two killed
and twelve wounded. There is nowhere on the battlefield that is safe. Even
those areas where fighting has not taken place for a while are likely to
experience a sudden ignition at any time.
The adjutant
of 8th Bedfords, part of 6th Division, tells me that they are now on their way
to the battle of the Somme for the first time. They have arrived this evening
at the village of Englebelmer, two or three mile behind the lines.
