Odd and Macabre Names



Monday 12th July: We have been given information today by the adjutant of the 2nd Bedfords as to their current position. This illustrates the odd names which the troops give their trenches and other points in the landscape. They are south-east of the village of Richebourg-l’Avoué, near the town of Béthune. They are occupying a number of posts called, respectively, Chocolate, Dead Cow, Ditch, Haystack, Path and Orchard.
