Wednesday 27th December 1916: From our Correspondent in the Field
Captain
Bridcutt, adjutant of the 7th Battalion, which is behind the lines north-east
of Abbeville spoke to me this evening about an honour afforded to the Battalion
today. The Battalion was specially selected to carry out an attack as per the
Somme battles and to give a demonstration before many generals and high ranking
officials. The attack was from trenches and carried out with such precision and
steadiness that they were very highly complimented by all concerned.
The
organisation of the Companies was checked and illustrated in full detail and
all unit commanders, understudies and specialists showed the most complete
knowledge of their military business and duties that they were held up as a
pattern to other regiments to which the crowd of spectators belonged. The staff
of the 5th Army and its various corps were all present.
