Day One Hundred and Thirty Three on the Somme

Major-General Shute

Friday 10th November 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field

Yesterday 4th Bedfords, at Puchevillers, were inspected by their brigadier. Today they have been inspected by the divisional commander Major-General C D Shute CB. The rumours within the battalion, we are told, have increased ten-fold as theu receive attention from personages further up the chain of command!
