Tuesday 12th
September 1916: From our Correspondent in
the Field
The Battle of
the Somme seems to have entered one of its quiescent phases which follow large
and sustained British attacks. Shelling continues, of course, but we have not heard
of any major moves today across the battlefront, though the Guards made a little ground towards the hill east of the village of Ginchy. Something is probably brewing for later in the week.
The
Bedfordshire Yeomanry are at Daours. Today they have been practising signalling
aeroplanes.
