The 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment is currently in the front line near Tannay near Hazebrouck. Yesterday and today they have been working to bolster the front line defences in case the enemy carry out any more of their sudden attacks. They have dug a new trench and some shelters known, due to their size, as elephant shelters for headquarters.
