Improving Defences



Wednesday 1st September 1915: We hear from the 1st/1st Field Company, Royal Engineers that they are still working on improving defences at Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée and Cuinchy, the works being known as the Village Line. They are also constructing a trench trolley railway to move ammunition and supplies around more easily. Finally, they are constructing dugouts for the infantry of 2nd Division in the front line
