Friday 8th December 1916: From our Correspondent in the Field
Captain
Bridcutt of the 7th Battalion, which is at Millencourt west of Albert, tells me
that they have today received a draft of 194 other ranks to help make good the
losses on the Somme. He commented: “A very good lot of men on the whole but
their drill is not all that could be desired and their knowledge of training is
limited”. This, no doubt, reflects on the fact that more men are always wanted
at the Front, which means that time for training before sending them out has
been reduced from an optimum level.
