Lieutenant Hobbs [X550/1/81]
Tuesday 29th May 1917
Just after
midnight 2nd Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, arrived by train at Ypres. They
will have no rest, however, as tonight they are to go into the front line in front
of the ruins of Zillebeke, south-east of Ypres. Lieutenant W Hobbs has taken
over the duties of acting adjutant from Lieutenant L A L Fink.
Meanwhile,
1st Battalion, in billets, has been finding working parties and training. At 4
pm the commanding officer gave a lecture to all officers and non-commissioned
officers on their duties. After tea there was a football match in which D
Company took on the rest of the Battalion. The day was rounded off nicely by an
open-air concert at 7.30.
