Success in Games


Saturday 2nd March 1918

1st/5th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment is at Mulebbis in Palestine(1) and is undergoing training in preparation for what the adjutant believes will be the final push to victory.

54th (East Anglian) Division is holding divisional competitions at Yazur(2) where two platoons from each of the twelve battalions in the division are concentrating on the competition, which lasts for six days. Yesterday the Battalion team won the Divisional Cross-Country Race which consisted of fifteen men from every unit in the division.
