Wednesday 3rd
January 1917
The 2nd
Battalion received fifty men as reinforcements on the 1st of this month, today
the 6th Battalion has received the same number. There are rumours here (there
are always more rumours in an army than men in the army, it seems) that High
Command are looking to re-open the Somme offensive as soon as they can this
year, having been forced to abandon it in the filthy weather of November. These
reinforcements will add more grist to this rumour mill.
The adjutant
of the Bedfordshire Yeomanry, not far from Calais, tells us that their horses
have been inspected by the veterinary officer today. An intelligence course is
being held at divisional headquarters whilst a number of officers and men - Captain
Holmes, Captain Proby, Lieutenant Foster, Sergeant Andrew, Sergeant Ekins and
Sergeant Chapman have been sent on courses at the divisional school.
