German 76 mm trench mortar at IWM Duxford
Sunday 10th December 1916: From our Correspondent in the Field
The adjutant
of the 8th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, spoke to me this evening and told
me that his battalion is back in the front line again at
Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée. The enemy trench mortars have been noticeably more
aggressive than they were in the Battalion’s last tour.
Temporary
Major John Stanhope Collings-Wells is, at the moment, in command of the 4th
Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment at Nouvion-en-Ponthieu. We have heard that he
has been promoted to Acting Lieutenant-Colonel whilst he commands the
Battalion.
