Tuesday 10th October 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
I have just
heard from 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, that they are at Ferme du Bois
near the old 1915 battlefield at Festubert. Their position is highlighted in
pink on the map above.
2nd
Battalion, meanwhile, are in the front line on the Somme again. They arrived
near Bazentin-le-Grand around lunchtime from Dernancourt. This evening they are
relieving 20th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, east of Eaucourt-l’Abbaye facing north. Their position is shown on the
map above. The Battalion was heavily shelled twice on its way up to this
relief. The Battalion Headquarters is marked by a cross.
