Saturday 17th
November 1917
Intriguing
news has reached us from the 8th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment. They are at
a beauty spot known as Fifteen Ravine, near Gouzeaucourt having just arrived
this evening. Even in the dark they have seen a large number of tanks in the
woods around them. To see so many of these metal monsters together must either
mean that something is afoot or, as one wag speculated, that they are breeding.
That
something is afoot seems unlikely. It is very late in the year to make any
major attack. Gouzeaucourt is a few miles south-west of Cambrai and there has
been no major offensive operation here - the place being given up by the enemy
in their retreat in March this year.
