Thursday 25th
January 1917
The 8th
Battalion is once more in the front line near Loos. They have been actively
sending out patrols. Their snipers have also been active and have claimed at
least two hits without suffering casualties themselves. The adjutant tells us
that a successful raid was carried out by the Brigade on their left. This
resulted in some enemy retaliation on the Bedfords but no damage was done.
Thank you so much for this fascinating blog. Do you have any information on the Bedfordshire Yeomanry and their activities at this time?
