Monday 23rd October 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
Today we have
heard that 7th Bedfords are holding the front line at Regina Trench, recently
taken by the Canadians. Further east, 8th Division have attacked German
positions east of Gueudecourt. The ground has had no chance to dry and the
attack took place through thick, sucking mud. It seems little has been gained. 4th Division, attacking alongside the French north-east of Gueudecourt encountered similar problems and, likewise, were able to achieve little. The weather, it seems, is quickly bringing this campaign to an end. Het us hope that one last hurrah can carry the army to Bapaume.
