Coincidental Meeting in the Trenches



Thursday 26th August: A and D Companies of the 7th Battalion have been in the trenches at Bécordel and are being relieved today by B and C Companies so that all the battalion will have had a gradual introduction to this gruelling and deadly environment. It is an irony that they have been introduced to the front line by the kilted favourites of the County Town, the 51st (Highland) Division who were, until earlier this year, stationed in Bedford. No doubt many reminiscences were exchanged in the process.
