Tuesday 1st May 1917
We understand
from the adjutant of the 1st Battalion that they are billeted at the village of
Cambligneul, a little over five miles north-west of Arras. They have been
practising night operations including attacking over open ground. Special
attention has been paid to the training of scouts and specialists such as
machine-gunners, signallers and so on.
