Sunday 3rd December 1916: From our Correspondent in the Field
The adjutant
of the 8th Battalion at Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée has spoken to me on the
telephone again this evening. During the afternoon the enemy trench mortars have
been very aggressive.
This morning
one of the Battalion’s snipers claimed a “hit”. This evening Captain Body has
led a patrol through gaps in the craters and entered the German trenches. There
they surprised and shot a sentry and then retired to our lines again. The
patrol reported that the enemy trenches are in good condition, though the wire is
bad.
