Wednesday 19th
September 1917
Today the 6th
Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, has moved back from the front line near Klein
Zillebeke to RE Farm, where it was inspected by the Brigadier. Later the
Brigade Major of 112th Brigade addressed the Battalion as follows: "The Brigade
Commander desires me to inform you that he was more than satisfied with the
splendid turnout of your battalion on parade this morning. The cleanliness of
every article of kit as well as the general turnout spoke well for the organisation
within your battalion and was a credit to all concerned. It gave the Brigade Commander
very great pleasure to see such a fine parade and he feels confident that in
any possible offensive operations, your battalion will continue to show as it
has in the past that good interior economy and organisation are half the
battle."
The Battalion
also heard today that 10551 Corporal S W Sawford has been awarded the Military
Medal.
