Friday 8th March
1918
6th Battalion,
Bedfordshire Regiment are in support in the Menin Road Sector east of Ypres.
Today they have endured a heavy artillery barrage by the enemy and about ninety
minutes ago the Germans attacked 111th Brigade in the front line and gained a
lodgement in the line. This is a potentially serious situation and the
Battalion, part of 112th Brigade, is on alert to go forward and assist the
defence if necessary.
7th Battalion,
at Rouez Camp are continuing to find working parties. Captain W J W Colley has
returned from leave and is second-in-command. There is a rifle range at the
camp and men are being encouraged to use it to practise.
