4th Battalion in January


Friday 1st February 1918

The adjutant of the 4th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, currently training at Beaulencourt, south-east of Bapaume, remarked to your correspondent today about the “additions and subtractions” as he called them. During the month of January the battalion has lost sixteen men killed in action and two died of wounds. Two officers and 26 men have been gassed and 39 have been wounded. Reinforcements during the month have exceeded losses at 111 other ranks.
