Major F H Edwards [X550/1/82]
Saturday 22nd
December 1917
The adjutant
of 6th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment informs us that Major F H Edwards MC
has taken over command of the Battalion. Meanwhile the 8th Battalion, in the front line near Riencourt on the old Arras battlefield, has been in action again
this morning.
At around the
same time as yesterday the enemy attacked the block in the trench separating
the two trench systems. Whereas yesterday was a patrol with rifles, this
morning they used bombs, ten being thrown and wounding two men, though Lewis
gun fire again sent the enemy packing. The Battalion is being relieved as I
write these lines and they will march back to billets at Mory.
