Working Parties



Friday 1st December 1916: From our Correspondent in the Field

The adjutant of the 8th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment tells us that they were at Béthune for most of last month, practising and training. They have also been providing working parties 280 strong to do various jobs such as digging trenches. They will soon be taking over the front line near Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée
