Monday 5th
February 1917 from our correspondent in
the field
The 1st/5th
Battalion of the Bedfordshire Regiment are marching across the Sinai Desert to
the front line with the Turks on the borders of Palestine. They have reached
the town of Romani (just north-west of Katia on the map above). This was where an important victory was gained over the Turks last August.
Today around three-quarters of the Battalion are due to go for a bathe and a picnic after their tiring marches since the first of this month.
