Saturday 31st March 1917 from
our correspondent in the field
The 7th
Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, though behind the lines at Steenbecque,
south-west of Hazebrouck are not idle. They have been practising the actions
necessary when fighting as outposts in a battle. This morning A Company
practised this in the open whilst B Company practised defence of a village.
In addition
the Battalion has been finding ceremonial guards. At lunchtime they practised
march discipline and learning march routine. They then had their rifles
inspected by the Armourer Sergeant. To round this off they played football and
other outdoor games this afternoon.
