Sir Henry Rawlinson
Thursday 15th April 1915: The adjutant of 2nd Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, tells us that the battalion has received a communication from IV Corps Headquarters regarding the inspection by Sir John French which they underwent on 12th of this month. Apparently the corps commander (Sir Henry Rawlinson) was very pleased with the turnout of each of the four battalions of 21st Infantry Brigade which he thought was: “… very creditable. The smart handling of arms and steadiness in the ranks was particularly satisfactory and he desires this may be brought to the notice of all concerned".
