Monday 3rd
September 1917
The only
action here today has been another attempt by 61st (2nd South Midland)
Division, to take Hill 35 from the enemy, having obtained a foothold on it a
few days ago. Their efforts, sad to report, do not seem to have been crowned
with success.
6th Battalion
Bedfordshire Regiment, part of 37th Division, are at Mount Sorrel south-east of
Zillebeke. They have had a petty officer and eight sailors attached for the day
to learn what it is like in and near the front line.
8th
Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, are in the support trenches at Hill 70 near
Loos-en-Gohelle. This evening the adjutant contacted your correspondent on the
blower with news that Captain G D Brewster and Second Lieutenant T A Jones were
both wounded in no man’s land by a German grenade whilst on patrol in the early
hours this morning. They did, however, obtain valuable information for their
pains.
