Monday 17th
December 1917
The 8th
Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment are at Mory, behind the lines north of
Bapaume. This morning they marched the five miles from Courcelles-le-Comte, via
Gomiecourt. They arrived at 11 a.m. but did not get into their billets until
12.30 as they were occupied by 7th Battalion, King’s Shropshire Light Infantryt
from 3rd Division. Things like this are commonplace and annoying to the men
involved. This was especially so as snow fell during the whole of the march and
the men were wet and cold when they arrived. Tonight four officers and two
hundred men have the pleasure of going up to the front line again to carry out
the dangerous job of putting up barbed wire.
