Day Seventy Three on the Somme



Monday 11th September 1916: From our Correspondent in the Field

Away from the Battle of the Somme the 4th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, not long in France, has, we hear, taken up a position in the front line near Calonne-sur-la-Lys north of Béthune. It has 7th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers on its right and 14th Highland Light Infantry on its left. No significant fighting has occurred in the battle today.
