Monday 18th
March 1918
1st Battalion,
Bedfordshire Regiment is on the move back from the front line on the River
Piave. Yesterday they moved south from Arcade to SantandrĂ . Today they have
been marching south to Castagnole where they will billet for the night.
As one
battalion leaves the line, anothers enters it. The 2nd Battalion have left
Villers-Saint-Christophe and are once again at Savy Dugouts, where they have
relieved 17th Battalion, Manchester Regiment. There are increasing rumours here
in France that a German attack is looming. Many of these rumours highlight the
area around Saint-Quentin as liable to receive this onslaught. Only time will
tell if these are a superior brand of rumour or just the usual stock-in-trade
of the idle and fanciful.
