1st/5th Bedfords in Greece

 The camp at Mudros

Tuesday 10th August: the adjutant of the 1st/5th Bedfords tells us that they have arrived at Mudros on the Greek island of Lemnos. It thus seems certain that they will be joining the Allied campaign at Gallipoli which has been under way since April with no sign of a breakthrough. Their division, 54th, along with others, will be much needed reinforcements and it is hoped that these men will tip the balance in the Allies’ favour.
