Friday 20th October 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field
The adjutant
of the 4th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, part of 63rd (Royal Naval)
Division, who are at Rainchavel, tells me that there is a rumour that they will
soon be part of a great offensive on Beaumont-Hamel, one of the villages due
for seizure on 1st July.
6th
Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers has been involved all day in a bloody
fight for a small feature east of Le Sars known as The Nose. This was lost
yesterday by South Africans. The Borderers took the position again, lost it and
finally retook it this afternoon.
