Saturday 16th June 1917
Yesterday B Company
of 1st/5th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, was sent away for sixteen days to
train for a special mission at 54th Divisional Training Camp. A composite
company of men from the Northamptonshire Regiment and the Devonshire Regiment has
been given to Colonel Brighten to replace them with.
Last night a
shell landed in headquarters cookhouse, wounding one man. A barricade of
sandbags has been erected near the cookhouse and also near the place where the
camels unload at night in order to give the men protection.
The General
Officer Commanding 54th (East Anglian) Division (Major-General Sir Steuart W Hare) inspected the sector, including
the redoubts held by the Bedfords. Work continued during the day on these
redoubts
