Wednesday 31st
October 1917
The adjutant
of 4th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, Captain J H Blackwell has managed to
contact us after their disaster in the mud of the Paddebeek yesterday. They
have been holding the line and, as I write this should be in the process of
being relieved before marching back nearer to Ypres. We have heard that 189th
Brigade of 63rd (Royal Naval) Division has again had to give up Banff House to
the enemy.
In the early
hours of this morning 50th (Northumbrian) Division made an attack which has
been successful in advancing the line from a point at Turenne Crossing to
Colombo House.
