Will Hill 60 Be Attacked?



Tuesday 13th April 1915: Readers will remember that we mentioned Hill 60, south-east of Ypres two days ago. The 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment is working day and night reconnoitring old, disused French and German trenches and opening up communication trenches and preparing dugouts. All this is designed to allow additional units to flood into the area for an attack on the hill. As this work is, no doubt, visible from Hill 60 itself the Germans must be aware that an attack is coming.
