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 Santandrà. 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.
