Monday 29th November 1915: We have heard from the 1st/1st East
Anglian Royal Engineers about what they have been up to this month. They have
been working near Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée, and thus in the vicinity of 2nd
Bedfords, though with 2nd as opposed to 7th Division.
The have
constructed of a new third line of defences from the Annequin-Auchy railway to
the la Bassée Canal. They have been constructing new trenches, “dog’s legs”,
machine gun emplacements, wire entanglements, dugouts and latrines and repairing
existing trenches which were adopted as part of the line.
