Tuesday 16th
October 1917
The adjutant
of 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, tells us that today the officers and
sergeants have taken part in a ‘war game’ using toy soldiers on a large model
near Battalion Headquarters. This war game was called “The Taking of Polderhoek
Chateau” to make them aware of the latest thinking on offensive tactics as well
as the latest observations on defence by the enemy. This afternoon the officers
have taken on the other ranks in a game of rugby and tonight there will be a
concert for the battalion.
6th Battalion
Bedfordshire Regiment has been reinforced. One officer, Lieutenant E S Dyer,
and ninety other ranks have arrived to swell the ranks.
